| Questão | Responda |
| Broadening | expansion of contexts in which a word can appear. eg. Bandaid. |
| Narrowing | when a word comes to mean only part of what it originally meant. eg. meat. |
| Shift | entails total alteration of the contexts. eg. dag. |
| Elevation | unpleasant overtones erode away and the word acquires favourable associations. eg. image (representation of a person-> cultivated favourable public reputation) |
| Deterioration | positive overtones erode away and words acquire pejorative associations. eg. accident (chance event -> misfortune) |
