Abstract
Modern comparative linguistics that is anthropologically oriented (as well as cognitive linguistics in general, as I have already mentioned in one of my previous publications [Vasko 2013, p. 3–8]), is characterized by the change of scientific view on the interpretation of word semantics which is of particular importance for etymology as a part of comparative historical linguistics and directs its study into the field of etymological analysis of the word in the unity of its meaning and form (semantic reconstruction). The development of cognitive and comparative linguistics involves research of the word etymological versions in a close contact with their cognitive perspective, particularly through the prism of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory by J. Lakoff.
