Abstract:

The collected articles in this volume address an array of cutting-edge issues
in the field of historical linguistics, including new theoretical approaches
and innovative methodologies for studying language through a diachronic lens.
The articles focus on the following themes: I. Case & Argument Structure, II.
Alignment & Diathesis, III. Patterns, Paradigms, & Restructuring, IV.
Grammaticalization & Construction Grammar, V. Corpus Linguistics &
Morphosyntax, VI. Languages in Contact. Papers reflect a wide range of
perspectives, and focus on issues and data from an array of languages and
language families, from new analyses of case and argument structure in Ancient
Greek to phonological evidence for language contact in Vietnamese, from
patterns of convergence in Neo-Aramaic to the development of the ergative in
Basque. The volume contributes substantially to the debate surrounding core
issues of language change: the role of the individual speaker, the nature of
paths of grammaticalization, the role of contact, the interface of diachrony
and synchrony, and many other issues. It should be useful to any reader hoping
to gain insight into the nature of language change.
