Language change and language acquisition can be studied in terms of
the development and/or reconstruction of grammatical forms. Both
grammaticalization theory and certain approaches to language
acquisition cast explanatory light on the process as sequential
stages of re-analysis and re-encoding. Language history shows that
both grammaticalization and acquisition are decisively influenced
by the question of medium, notably the medium of written language.
Against this background, the articles assembled here examine the
emergence and acquisition of grammatical forms and points up both
the similarities and the terminologically crucial distinctions
between social genesis and language acquisition.
