Abstract:
This comprehensive new work provides extensive evidence for the essential role
of language contact as a primary trigger for change. Unique in breadth, it
traces the spread of the periphrastic perfect across Europe over the last
2,500 years, illustrating at each stage the micro-responses of speakers and
communities to macro-historical pressures. Among the key forces claimed to be
responsible for normative innovations in both eastern and western Europe is
'roofing' - the superstratal influence of Greek and Latin on languages under
the influence of Greek Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism respectively. The
author provides a new interpretation of the notion of 'sprachbund', presenting
the model of a three-dimensional stratified convergence zone, and applies this
model to her analysis of the have and be perfects within the Charlemagne
sprachbund. The book also tackles broader theoretical issues, for example,
demonstrating that the perfect tense should not be viewed as a universal
category.
1. Language contact in Europe: the periphrastic perfect through history; 2.
Languages in contact, areal linguistics and the perfect; 3. The perfect as a
