Valency patterns and valency orientation have been frequent topics
of research under different perspectives, often poorly connected.
Diachronic studies on these topics is even less systematic than
synchronic ones. The papers in this book bring together two strands
of research on valency, i.e. the description of valency patterns as
worked out in the Leipzig Valency Classes Project (ValPaL), and the
assessment of a language's basic valency and its possible
orientation. Notably, the ValPaL does not provide diachronic
information concerning the valency patterns investigated: one of
the aims of the book is to supplement the available data with data
from historical stages of languages, in order to make it profitably
exploitable for diachronic research. In addition, new research on
the diachrony of basic valency and valency alternations can deepen
our understanding of mechanisms of language change and of the
propensity of languages or language families to exploit different
constructional patterns related to transitivity.
