Abstract:

Martin Hilpert combines construction grammar and advanced corpus-based
methodology into a new way of studying language change. Constructions are
generalizations over remembered exemplars of language use. These exemplars are
stored with all their formal and functional properties, yielding
constructional generalizations that contain many parameters of variation. Over
time, as patterns of language use are changing, the generalizations are
changing with them. This book illustrates the workings of constructional
change with three corpus-based studies that reveal patterns of change at
several levels of linguistic structure, ranging from allomorphy to word
formation and to syntax. Taken together, the results strongly motivate the use
of construction grammar in research on diachronic language change. This new
perspective has wide-ranging consequences for the way historical linguists
think about language change. It will be of particular interest to linguists
working on morpho-syntax, sociolinguistics and corpus linguistics.
