Readings on why words change
Post Body
I'm about to teach a lexicology/lexicography course for undergraduates, and I wanted to give some readings on why meanings change. In other words, not just something that says "Folk etymology occurs" or "Metaphor exists", but rather, something that tries to account for why we apply one domain to another. I'm already assigning some chapters from Lakoff & Johnson 1980, but if anyone knows of other, accessible readings for undergraduates, I'd appreciate it.
