Abstract
The article puts an insight to the main causes of word meaning changes in the English language. It aims to explore the forces, the nature and the consequences which bring to this semantic change of the word meaning. Using all the time a comparative approach, the article traces the traditional typologies for motivating semantic changes made by world-known scholars. It addresses to four main factors and consequences of this change: internal linguistic factors, historical factors or cultural changes, social factors, psychological factors which can help us to understand the actual meaning of a word, illustrating them with relevant examples from the English language. The article provides the explanation of semantic shifts that combines a framework taken from pragmatics with the cognitive regularities of linguistic innovations.
