The contributions to this volume address the model of diachronic
language comparison that has emerged from the field of contrastive
linguistics. The volume's aim is to use language comparison to
derive principles of language change that allow for generalizations
that go beyond single languages. Indeed, the phenomenon of change
observed in a particular language is thrown into sharper relief
when compared to comparable developments in other languages. Such a
comparison also facilitates the identification of change that is
highly specific to a single language. The articles in the volume
illustrate the relevance of these concepts for phonological,
morphological, and syntactic changes.
