Book Description
Excerpt from The Semantic Development of Words for Walk, Run in the Germanic Languages As will be seen from the following study, 'walk, run' may come from many different meanings. These primary meanings describe the attitude or manner of the walker. Thus they may describe how he carries his body, Whether erect or stooping, stiff or swinging; how he moves his legs, whether striding or mincing, with leaps or in glides; whether his motions are graceful or ungainly, sturdy or feeble, prim or boisterous, etc. Every accompanying gesture is described. Thus arise the various words for 'go on foot, ' in most cases still retaining their descriptive force, but often, especially in the words that had in pre - Germanic come to mean 'go, ' no longer preserving the original meaning describing the man ner of the walking. Hence such words as go, fare, step, walk are now colorless; but stride, dash, slouch, slink, strut, swagger, reel, toddle, etc., describe the manner of the walk with more or less vividness. Inasmuch as the meanings of words shade off into various other meanings, related words may be classified in different groups. Thus 'swing, sway' may describe the walk of the feeble, the intoxicated, or the pompous. So some words appear in different groups.
