Abstract:

The volume contains a selection of papers originally presented at the
symposium on “Areal patterns of grammaticalization and cross-linguistic
variation in grammaticalization scenarios” held on 12-14 March 2015 at
Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. The papers, written by leading
scholars combining expertise in historical linguistics and grammaticalization
research, study variation in grammaticalization scenarios in a variety of
language families (Slavic, Indo-Aryan, Tibeto-Burman, Bantu, Mande, "Khoisan",
Siouan, and Mayan). The volume stands out in the vast literature on
grammaticalization by focusing on variation in grammaticalization scenarios
and areal patterns in grammaticalization. Apart from documenting new
grammaticalization paths, the volume makes a methodological contribution as it
addresses an important question of how to reconcile universal outcomes of
grammaticalization processes with the fact that the input to these processes
is language-specific and construction-specific.
