Abstract:

This volume explores how Diachronic Construction Grammar can shed new light on
changes in a central and well-researched domain of grammar, namely modality.
Its main goal is to show how constructional analyses can help us address some
of the long-standing questions that have informed discussions of modal
expressions and their development, and to illustrate the processes that are
involved in these developments on the basis of data from languages such as
English, Finnish, French, Galician, German, and Japanese. The studies in this
volume are organized around three interrelated topics. The first of these
concerns the organization of modal constructions in a network. A second focus
area of the studies in this volume concerns the developmental pathways that
modal constructions follow diachronically. The third topic that ties the
contributions of this volume together is the contrast between
constructionalization and constructional change.
