This volume advances our understanding of two highly debated
aspects of grammaticalization: its relation to
(inter)subjectification and its directionality. These aspects are
studied with respect to such phenomena as auxiliaries, discourse
markers, conjunctions, prepositions and pronouns. Bringing together
a wide range of languages, the collection provides insight into the
crucial dimensions of grammaticalization research.

The book investigates pathways of (inter)subjectification followed
by prenominal elements in the English Noun Phrase, by tracing the
development of identifying, noun-intensifying and subjective
compound uses. By means of in-depth corpus study, the assumed
unidirectionality of (inter)subjectification in the NP is verified
and refined.
