Abstract:

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

This book presents the state of the art in research on grammaticalization, the
process by which lexical items acquire grammatical function, grammatical items
get additional functions, and grammars are created. Leading scholars from
around the world introduce and discuss the core theoretical and methodological
bases of grammaticalization, report on work in the field, and point to
promising directions for new research. They represent every relevant
theoretical perspective and approach.

Research on grammaticalization and its role in linguistic change encompasses
work on languages from every major linguistic family. Its results offer
valuable insights for all theoretical frameworks, including generative,
construction, and cognitive grammar, and relate to work in fields such as
phonology, sociolinguistics, and language acquisition. The handbook is divided
into five parts, of which the first two are devoted to theory and method, the
third and fourth to work in linguistic domains, classes, and cateogories, and
the fifth to case studies of grammaticalization in a range of languages. It
will be an indispensable source of information and inspiration for all those
who wish to know more about this fascinating and important field.
