example. The old meaning of the word «deer» was an animal. It was used for all
kinds of animals. When the Latin word «animal» came into the English language
the meaning of the word «deer» was changed. Now it is used to name only one
kind of animal (deer—олень, буғу).
The words may change their meaning when they are used transferently, i. e.
metaphorically or metonymically. A metaphor is a shift of meanings caused by the
likeness (semilarity of some property of two objects). Metaphor is based on the
semilarities of objects.
