Abstract:

The product of a group of scholars who have been working on new directionsin Historical Linguistics, this book is focused on questions of grammaticalchange, and the central issue of grammaticalization in Indo-Europeanlanguages. Several studies examine particular problems in specificlanguages, but often with implications for the IE phylum as a whole. Giventhe historical scope of the data (over a period of four millennia) longrange grammatical changes such as the development of gender differences,strategies of definiteness, the prepositional phrase, or of the syntax ofthe verbal diathesis and aspect, are also treated. The shifting relevanceof morphology to syntax, and syntax to morphology, a central motif of thisresearch, has provoked lively debate in the discipline of HistoricalLinguistics.
