Beyond Grammaticalization and Discourse Markers
New Issues in the Study of Language Change
Series: - Studies in Pragmatics, Volume: 18
Beyond Grammaticalization and Discourse Markers offers a comprehensive account of the most promising new directions in the vast field of grammaticalization studies. From major theoretical issues to hardly addressed experimental questions, this volume explores new ways to expand, refine or even challenge current ideas on grammaticalization.
All contributions, written by leading experts in the fields of grammaticalization and discourse markers, explore issues such as: the impact of Construction Grammar into language change; cyclicity as a driving force of change; the importance of positions and discourse units as predictors of grammaticalization; a renewed way of thinking about philological considerations, or the role of Experimental Pragmatics for hypothesis checking.

"To conclude, the volume constitutes a welcome addition to the literature on DMs and grammaticalization, discussing some theoretical aspects of both, but most of all providing a range of semantic reconstructions and insights into the sociolinguistic dynamics of grammatical change." - Bernd Heine, University of Cologne, in: Journal of Pragmatics 148 (2019), pp. 125-127
