METANALYSIS. A technical term for a change in the way the elements in a WORD, PHRASE or SENTENCE are interpreted and used, such as: Middle English
a naddre reinterpreted as
an addre (Modern
an adder); Perso-Arabic
nāranj becoming Old Provençal
auranja then French and English
orange, the /n/ being attracted to the article in both languages (but retained in Spanish
unanaranja).
