Etymology and semantics
Karlíková, Helena
The contribution focuses on some problems an etymologist faces when reconstructing the original meaning of a given etymon. It shows what kind of difficulties one must deal with in description of the semantic development within the frame of one language (in its various historical phases) as well as within the whole lexical family. In such reconstruction one of the important factors is the application of the principle of comparison, i.e. the search for semantic parallels, analogical semantic processes.
