Call for Papers:

Over the last few decades, we have witnessed a proliferation of studies
regarding phenomena such as grammaticalization, lexicalization and, more
recently, constructionalization. According to their most basic definitions,
these notions refer to different phenomena of language change which typically
begin with a lexical form with a concrete meaning and end, respectively, in a
grammatical unit or zero, a new lexical unit, or a fixed grammatical pattern
or construction. Extensive bibliographies reflect ongoing discussions
concerning every possible aspect of these linguistic processes, including
basic terminology and their internal relationships. Yet, a common feature of
grammaticalization theories is that they explain particular cases of changing
grammar primarily as being a consequence of concrete language use. As a
consequence, new knowledge regarding the nature of the phenomenon can best be
gathered by closely studying particular phenomena in empirical data from
different languages and incorporating insights from different frameworks.

Therefore, the main purpose of this Special Issue consists of reporting on new
and current interests and developments in this well-established but
continuously evolving research field.

We welcome a wide range of (relevant) topics, which may include but are not
limited to:

Grammaticalization at different levels of linguistic analysis (morphosyntax,
semantics, pragmatics and discourse-related phenomena);
Grammaticalization as observed in different kinds of corpora, including spoken
data;
Grammaticalization across languages, including sign languages;
Experimental approaches to grammaticalization.
Relevant papers regarding all languages from different frameworks are welcome.

Interested authors are requested to submit a proposed title and an abstract of
around 500 words summarizing their intended contribution, prior to preparing
their manuscripts. Abstracts will be reviewed by the guest editors and the
journal's editorial team, and then full manuscripts will be solicited. Please
send the abstract to Tom.Bossuyt at UGent.be and languages at mdpi.com. Abstracts
will be reviewed by the guest editors for the purposes of ensuring proper fit
within the scope of the Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo
double-blind peer-review.

Deadline for abstract submission: 15/11/2022
