This innovative volume offers a comprehensive account of the study
of language change in verb meaning in the history of the English
language. Integrating both the author's previous body of work and
new research, the book explores the complex dynamic between
linguistic structures, morphosyntactic and semantics, and the
conceptual domain of meaning, employing a consistent theoretical
treatment for analyzing different classes of predicates. Building
on this analysis, each chapter connects the implications of these
findings from diachronic change with data from language
acquisition, offering a unique perspective on the faculty of
language and the cognitive system. In bringing together a unique
combination of theoretical approaches to provide an in-depth
analysis of the history of diachronic change in verb meaning, this
book is a key resource to researchers in historical linguistics,
theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, language acquisition,
and the history of English.
