Abstract

This study recommends a comparative-typological classification to categorize archaic words according to their semantic functions. Through this study, we clarify the pragmatic content of three related terms archaic words, historical words and anachronisms in terms of their similarities and differences. Moreover, we provide detailed explanation of archaic words existed in English and Uzbek languages. Mainly, through this study, we propose a revision of the semantical classification of archaic words to simplify their typology. This framework is conducted based on the other classifications of the archaic words. Existing categorizations of archaic words refer to lexical and grammatical categories that are referential in function, with the additional categories of phonetic and derivational archaic words. We suggest bringing semantic categories of archaic words, such as medical archaisms, occupational archaisms, zooarchaisms, phytoarchaisms, topoarchaisms and hydroarchaisms.
