Abstract:

The basic idea behind this volume is to probe the nature of
grammaticalization. Its contributions focus on the following
questions: (i) In how far can grammaticalization be considered a
universal diachronic process or mechanism of change and in how far is
it conditioned by synchronic factors? (ii) What is the role of the
speaker in grammaticalization? (iii) Does grammaticalization itself
provide a cause for change or is it an epiphenomenon, i.e. a
conglomeration of causal factors/mechanisms which elsewhere occur
independently? (iv) If it is epiphenominal, how do we explain that
similar pathways so often occur in known cases of grammaticalization?
(v) Is grammaticalization unidirectional? (vi) What is the nature of
the parameters guiding grammaticalization? The overall aim of the book
is to enrich our understanding of what grammaticalization does or does
not entail via detailed case studies in combination with theoretical
and methodological discussions.
