Synopsis
This book delves into how suffixes have adapted over time, primarily focusing on their use in designating parts of the body. The author identifies a recurring pattern where words for body parts share similar suffixes, demonstrating that certain suffixes have become almost exclusively tied to body-related terms. The book argues that this adaptation is not random but rather reflects a process of semantic categorization, where words belonging to the same semantic field tend to adopt similar suffixes. This trend is particularly noticeable in the Indo-European language family, where suffixes like -r and -n have become firmly associated with body-part designations. The author traces the historical evolution of these suffixes, illustrating how they have been extended and modified over time. Through a close examination of specific examples, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between language, meaning, and the human body, offering valuable insights for linguists, philologists, and anyone interested in the evolution of language.
