The development of English has gone through three stages: Old English period, Middle English period, and Modern English period. The influence of the vocabularies of French, Latin, Greek, and Scandinavian and so on enriches the English vocabulary. ．．． It is good for our future learning of English, if we learn something about semantic changes. （Times New Roman，小四，单倍行距，内容不超过100字） Key Words（Times New Roman, 四号，加粗）: semantic change; types; tendencies; causes （Times New Roman，小四，单倍行距，3-5个关键词） 英语词义的变化 摘 要词语的意义在一定时期内是相对稳定的,但历经千百年后,则会发生一定的甚至是重大的变化。详细分析词义演变的原因及类型,将有助于读者加深理解词语的本质,体会词义演变这一必然趋势而掌握词义变化的知识,将对我们今后的英语学习有所裨益。关键词词义演变变化类型；变化趋势；变化原因 1.
