Analogy and semantic change

On Thursday, we will be doing analogy and semantic change. Analogical change is covered in chapter 4 of your textbook and semantic change is in chapter 9. You should read chapter 4 before the class and quickly skim through chapter 9. We may not be able to cover chapter 9 in great detail, but we can't spend more time of it. If you print the handout on Kuryłowycz's Six Laws of Analogy and the two pages with it before class, it will be helpful in your note-taking.

I will also hand back the mid-term test on Thursday and quickly go through the answeres.
