Polysemy as a language universal viewed diachronically.

Pol viewed diachronically when we observed a historical change in the semantic structure of the word. A word may retain its previous meaning and at the same time acquire new meanings. Two schemes in the development of polysemy – radiation, concatenation
Radiation – is a semantic process in which the primary meaning stands at the centre and the secondary meaning proceed out of it in every direction. Each of the secondary meaning is independent of all the rest. Eg – paper – scientific article, money, note, document.
Concatenation – is the semantic process in which the meaning of the word moves gradually away from its first signification by successive shifts of meaning. Eg board – peace of timber, table, board of health
