Abstract:

Olga Fischer presents a critical analysis of morphosyntactic change and themechanisms that trigger it. She shows how changes in discourse, lexicon,semantics, pragmatics, and sound interact with changes in morphosyntax, andconsiders the interface between the internal and external factors ofchange. She reveals how rates and speed of change in morphosyntax can beused to explore the degree to which grammar is innate or learned. Her bookwill be of central interest and value to students of linguistic change, atgraduate level and above.

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology                             Syntax
