This book advances research on grammatical change and shows the
breadth and liveliness of the field. Leading international scholars
report and reflect on the latest research into the nature and
outcomes of all aspects of syntactic change including
grammaticalization, variation, complementation, syntactic movement,
determiner-phrase syntax, pronominal systems, case systems,
negation, and alignment. The authors deploy a variety of generative
frameworks, including minimalist and optimality theoretic, and
bring these to bear on a wide range of languages: among the latter
are typologically distinct examples from Germanic, Romance, Slavic,
Greek, Korean and Japanese, Austronesian, Celtic, and Nahuatl. They
draw on sociolinguistic evidence where appropriate. Taken as a
whole, the volume provides a stimulating overview of key current
issues in the investigation of the origins, nature, and outcome of
syntactic change.
