The volume presents new insights into two basic theoretical issues
hotly debated in recent work on grammaticalization and language
contact: grammatical replication and grammatical borrowability. The
key issues are: How can grammatical replication be distinguished
from other, superficially similar processes of contact-induced
linguistic change, and under what conditions does it take place?
Are there grammatical morphemes or constructions that are more
easily borrowed than others, and how can language contact account
for areal biases in the borrowing (vs. calquing) of grammatical
formatives? The book is a major contribution to the ongoing
theoretical discussion concerning the relationship between
grammaticalization and language contact on a broad empirical basis.
