Abstract:

Classification is a popular topic in typological, descriptive and theoretical
linguistics. This volume is the first to deal specifically with the diachrony
of linguistic systems of classification. It comprises original papers that
examine the ways in which linguistic classification systems arise, change, and
dissipate in both natural circumstances and in circumstances of attrition. The
role of diffusion in such processes is explored, as well as the question of
what can be diffused. The volume is not restricted to nominal systems of
classification, but also includes papers dealing with the less well-known
phenomenon of verbal classification. Languages from a wide spread of world
regions are examined, including Africa, Amazonia, Australia, Eurasia, Oceania,
and Mesoamerica. The volume will be of interest to linguistic typologists,
descriptive linguists, historical linguists, and grammaticalization theorists.
