Abstract:

This volume, which emerged from a workshop at the New Reflections onGrammaticalization 4 conference held at KU Leuven in July 2008,contains a collection of papers which investigate the relationship betweensynchronic gradience and the apparent gradualness of linguistic change,largely from the perspective of grammaticalization. In addition to versionsof the papers presented at the workshop, the volume contains speciallycommissioned contributions, some of which offer commentaries on a subset ofthe other articles. The articles address a number of themes central togrammaticalization studies, such as the role of reanalysis and analogy ingrammaticalization, the formal modelling of grammaticalization, and therelationship between formal and functional change, using data from a rangeof languages, and (in some cases) from particular electronic corpora. Thevolume will be of specific interest to historical linguists working ongrammaticalization, and general linguists working on the interface betweensynchrony and diachrony.
