Abstract:

In this volume, long-standing assumptions about the formal changes
involved in grammaticalization are evaluated in the light of the
striking diversity of human languages. To this end, the traditional
notions of morphological coalescence, syntactic fixation and
phonological erosion are reassessed with regard to their relationship
with the diachronic changes affecting the function of the construction
and with larger-scale typological changes that affect the language as
a whole (especially, shifts in morphological type and word-order
patterns). The author reaches the conclusion that suprasegmental
phonological erosion and syntactic fixation (redefined in a
template-based framework) are direct consequences of functional change
and are therefore significant indicators of grammaticalization,
whereas coalescence and segmental erosion are independently motivated
by psycholinguistic, rather than strictly grammatical factors.
