Extensively revised and updated, this second edition provides, in
an A-Z format, an analysis of the most important generalizations
that have been made on the unidirectional change of grammatical
forms and constructions. Based on the analysis of more than 1,000
languages, it reconstructs over 500 processes of grammatical change
in the languages of the world, including East Asian languages such
as Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Readers are provided with the
tools to discover how lexical and grammatical meanings can be
related to one another in a principled way, how such issues as
polysemy, heterosemy, and transcategoriality are dealt with, and
why certain linguistic forms have simultaneous lexical and
grammatical functions. Definitions of lexical concepts are provided
with examples from a broad variety of languages, and references to
key relevant research literature. Linguists and other scholars will
gain a better understanding of languages on a worldwide scale.
