This volume collects ten studies that propose modern methodologies
of analyzing and explaining language change in the case of various
morpho-phonological and morpho-syntactic characteristics. The
studies were first presented in the fourth, fifth and sixth
workshops at the “Language Variation and Change in Ancient and
Medieval Europe” summer schools, organized on the island of
Naxos, Cyclades, Greece and online between 2019 and 2021. The book
is divided into two parts that both focus on modern tools and
methodologies of analyzing and accounting for language change. The
first part focuses on common directions of change in Indo-European
languages and beyond, and the second part emphasizes explanations
that reveal the role of language contact. The volume promotes a
dialogue between approaches to language change having their
starting point in structural and typological aspects of the history
of languages on the one hand, and approaches concentrating on
external factors on the other. Through this dialogue, the volume
enriches knowledge on the contrast or complementarity of
internally- and externally-motivated causes of language change.
