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.
