This book presents the state of the art in research on
grammaticalization, the process by which lexical items acquire
grammatical function, grammatical items get additional functions,
and grammars are created. Leading scholars from around the world
introduce and discuss the core theoretical and methodological bases
of grammaticalization, report on work in the field, and point to
promising directions for new research. They represent every
relevant theoretical perspective and approach.
Research on grammaticalization and its role in linguistic change
encompasses work on languages from every major linguistic family.
Its results offer valuable insights for all theoretical frameworks,
including generative, construction, and cognitive grammar, and
relates to work in fields such as phonology, sociolinguistics, and
language acquisition. The handbook provides a full, critical
assessment of every aspect of this research. It is divided into
five parts, of which the first two are devoted to theory and
method, the third and fourth to work in linguistic domains,
classes, and cateogories, and the fifth to case studies of
grammaticalization in a range of languages. It will be an
indispensable source of information and inspiration for all those
who wish to know more about this fascinating and important field.
