Abstract:

This volume centers on three important theoretical concepts for the study of
language change and the ways in which language structure emerges and turns
into new structure: reanalysis, actualization, and indexicality. Reanalysis is
a part of ongoing everyday language use, a process through which language is
reproduced and changed. Actualization refers to the processes through which a
reanalyzed structure spreads throughout single communities and society.
Indexicality covers the way in which parts of a linguistic system can point to
other parts of the system, both syntagmatically and paradigmatically. The
inclusion of indexicality leads to fine-grained analysis in morphology, word
order, and constructional syntax.
