SEMANTIC CHANGE IN GRAMMATICALIZATION, EDITED BY JOSEP MARTINES,
SANDRA MONTSERRAT AND JORDI M. ANTOLÍ

In recent decades, diachronic semantics as a discipline has undergone
a revolution. First, because the very concept of meaning has been
broadened: whereas traditionally diachronic semantics focused on the
study of the lexicon, it is now agreed that not only the lexicon is a
bearer of meaning. Consequently, this expansion of the field of study
has been accompanied by a re-evaluation of the discipline: diachronic
semantics has gone from being on the periphery of the study of
linguistic change to being considered a core subject. The importance
that semantic change has acquired in the study of grammaticalization
is paradigmatic: semantics and pragmatics have become fundamental
disciplines for explaining the origin of grammatical change and the
context in which it occurs.

Within this context, this special issue explores the place of semantic
change in grammaticalization and studies cases of grammatical change.
With regard to case studies, priority will be given to studies dealing
with grammaticalization phenomena in Catalan, but proposals on other
languages are also welcome. Studies should be based on historical data
from linguistic corpora. Areas of interest include (i) case studies on
grammaticalization and semantic change, in Catalan and other
languages, based on historical data; (ii) typological approaches to
grammaticalization; new models of grammatical change; (iii)
typological approaches to semantic change; mechanisms and patterns of
change; (iv) studies on the importance of context in the study of
semantic change and grammaticalization; the pragmatic approach to
change, and (v) the intersection between grammaticalization and other
patterns in linguistic change: phraseologization, pragmaticalization,
etc.
