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.
In the three volumes of Major Trends in Theoretical and Applied
Linguistics, the editors guide the reader through a well-selected
compendium of works, presenting a fresh look at contemporary
linguistics. Specialists will find chapters that contribute to
their fields of interest, and the three-volume collection will
provide useful reading for anyone interested in linguistics. The
first volume explores theoretical issues dealing with
phonetics-phonology and syntax-semantics-morphology. Volume two is
organized into three main sections that examine interdisciplinary
linguistics: discourse analysis, gender and lexicography; language
acquisition, and language disorders. Finally, volume three focuses
on applied linguistics - both language teaching/ learning and
education.

In the three volumes of Major Trends in Theoretical and Applied
Linguistics, the editors guide the reader through a well-selected
compendium of works, presenting a fresh look at contemporary
linguistics. Aimed at specialists or anyone interested in
languages, this publication deals with both theoretical issues and
applied linguistics, looking closely at discourse analysis, gender
and lexicography, language acquisition and language disorders.
?his book offers a new approach to the theory of change in argument
structure and voice morphology. It investigates the diachrony of
transitivity, and especially the changes in causative verbs and
transitivity alternations, based on data mainly from the Greek and
English diachrony (all historical data are transcribed and
accompanied by glosses and translations into Modern English). Data
from earlier periods provide new information on burning questions
in both Historical and Theoretical Linguistics. The study shows
that (a) causativisations are the result of reanalysis of
intransitive verbs as transitive on the basis of the linguistic cue
of Case; (b) the changes in voice morphology do not depend on the
derivation and direction of new transitivity alternations. Finally,
the study demonstrates that the generalisation that guides the
changes in voice demands morphological differentiation of the
anticausative from the passive types.
