Abstract:

This volume explores the role that functional elements play in syntactic
change and investigates the semantic and functional features that are the
driving force behind those changes. Structural developments are explained in
terms of the reanalysis of parts of the functional sequences in the clausal,
nominal, and adpositional domains, through changes in parameter settings and
feature specifications. The chapters discuss 'microdiachronic' syntactic
changes that often have implications for large-scale syntactic effects, such
as word order variation, the emergence (and lexicalization) of syntactic
projections, grammaticalization, and changes in information-structural
properties. The volume contains both case studies of individual languages,
such as German, Hungarian, and Romanian, and detailed investigations of
cross-linguistic phenomena, based primarily on digital corpora of historical
and dialectal data.
