Abstract:
Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.
Bringing together diachronic research from a variety of perspectives, notably
typology, formal syntax and semantics, this volume focuses on the interplay of
syntactic and semantic factors in language change - an issue so far largely
neglected both in (mostly lexical) historical semantics as well as historical
syntax, but recently brought into focus by grammaticalization theory as well
as Minimalist diachronic syntax. The contributions draw on data from numerous
Indo-European languages including Vedic Sanskrit, Middle Indic, Greek as well
as English and German, and discuss a range of phenomena such as change in
negation markers, indefinite articles, quantifiers, modal verbs, argument
structure among others. The papers analyze diachronic evidence in the light of
contemporary syntactic and semantic theory, addressing the crucial question of
how syntactic and semantic change are linked, and whether both are governed by
similar constraints, principles and systematic mechanisms. The volume will
appeal to scholars in historical linguistics and formal theories of syntax and
semantics.
