Abstract:

The focus of this volume is on the relation between synchrony and diachrony.
It
is examined in the light of the most recent theories of language change and 
linguistic variation. What has traditionally been treated as a dichotomy is
now
seen rather in terms of a dynamic interface. The contributions to this volume
aim at exploring the most adequate tools to describe and understand the 
manifestations of this dynamic interface. Thorough analyses are offered on hot
topics of the current linguistic debate, which are all involved in the
analysis of
the synchrony-diachrony interface: gradualness of change, synchronic variation
and gradience, constructional approaches to grammaticalization, the role of 
contact-induced transfer in language change, analogy. Case studies are 
discussed from a variety of languages and dialects including English, Welsh, 
Latin, Italian and Italian dialects, Dutch, Swedish, German and German
dialects,
Hungarian. This volume is of great interest to a broad audience within
linguistics,
including historical linguistics, typology, pragmatics, and areal linguistics.
