Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

Extensively revised and updated, this second edition provides, in an A-Z
format, an analysis of the most important generalizations that have been made
on the unidirectional change of grammatical forms and constructions. Based on
the analysis of more than 1,000 languages, it reconstructs over 500 processes
of grammatical change in the languages of the world, including East Asian
languages such as Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Readers are provided with the
tools to discover how lexical and grammatical meanings can be related to one
another in a principled way, how such issues as polysemy, heterosemy, and
transcategoriality are dealt with, and why certain linguistic forms have
simultaneous lexical and grammatical functions. Definitions of lexical
concepts are provided with examples from a broad variety of languages, and
references to key relevant research literature. Linguists and other scholars
will gain a better understanding of languages on a worldwide scale.
