Description

The putting into perspective of semantic change is not new. Indeed, this is one of the important points of Carolina Michaelis' 'Lições de Filologia Portuguesa'. The intention of this article is to introduce to this problem some of the data from cognitive linguistics, i.e. to see which 'cognitive' process is followed in some of these changes.
