Abstract:

Contributions from both well-known practitioners and new voices in the areas
of language typology, historical linguistics, and function-based approaches to
language description define this volume, as does its foci in two major
geographical areas — southeast Asia and northwestern North America. All of the
papers appeal, in one way or another, to functional-historical approaches to
explanation. Behind this appeal lies an assumption that languages are
selective in their development in ways that are dependent upon the
communicative tasks to which they are put. As such, language function accounts
for both variation and historical development over time.
