I find the language change stuff difficult - particularly with things like semantic change because I don't know how we can be expected to know archaic and modern meanings of all lexemes? For example, liquor used to just mean liquid but now only refers to alcohol. I had no idea of that archaic meaning. It's things like that which make this exam tough.


Have a read of language change terminology what I posted to someone else it may help you.
