Synopsis
Excerpt from The Semasiological Development of Words for 'Perceive, Understand, Think, Know, ' in the Older Germanic Dialects: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree, of Doctor of Philosophy
It is a well-established psychological as well as semasiological fact that words denoting abstract ideas, such as 'perceive, think, ' and other direct designations of mental activity, must have arrived at this meaning through stages of associative development more or less involved. The work here undertaken is an attempt to show the semasiological development of such words in the Older Germanic dialects.
