Abstract:

Valency patterns and valency orientation have been frequent topics of research
under different perspectives, often poorly connected. Diachronic studies on
these topics is even less systematic than synchronic ones. The papers in this
book bring together two strands of research on valency, i.e. the description
of valency patterns as worked out in the Leipzig Valency Classes Project
(ValPaL), and the assessment of a language's basic valency and its possible
orientation. Notably, the ValPaL does not provide diachronic information
concerning the valency patterns investigated: one of the aims of the book is
to supplement the available data with data from historical stages of
languages, in order to make it profitably exploitable for diachronic research.
In addition, new research on the diachrony of basic valency and valency
alternations can deepen our understanding of mechanisms of language change and
of the propensity of languages or language families to exploit different
constructional patterns related to transitivity.
