Abstract:
Note: This is the paperback edition of a previously announced title.
The phenomenon of grammaticalization-- the historical process whereby new grammatical material is created-- has attracted a great deal of attention within linguistics in recent years. This book shows how this approach leads to a number of important conceptual and theoretical issues concerning the nature of functional categories and the form of parameters, as well as the relation of both of these to language change.
