Abstract:

Note: This is the paperback edition of a previously announced title.

The phenomenon of grammaticalization-- the historical process whereby new
grammatical material is created-- has attracted a great deal of attention
within linguistics in recent years. This book shows how this approach leads
to a number of important conceptual and theoretical issues concerning the
nature of functional categories and the form of parameters, as well as the
relation of both of these to language change.
