This second edition of Ian Roberts's highly successful textbook on
diachronic syntax has been fully revised and updated throughout to
take account of the multiple developments in the field in the last
decade. The book provides a detailed account of how standard
questions in historical linguistics - including word order change,
grammaticalization, and reanalysis - can be explored in terms of
current minimalist theory and Universal Grammar. This new edition
offers expanded coverage of a range of topics, including null
subjects, the Final-over-Final Condition, the diachrony of
wh-movement, the Tolerance Principle, and creoles and creolization,
and explores further advances in the theory of parametric
variation. Each chapter includes suggestions for further reading,
and the book concludes with a comprehensive glossary of key terms.
Written by one of the leading scholars in the field, the volume
will remain an ideal textbook for students of historical
linguistics and a valuable reference for researchers and students
in related areas such as syntax, comparative linguistics, language
contact, and language acquisition.
