Constructionalization and Constructional Changes - Oxford Studies in Diachronic and Historical Linguistics
Traugott, Elizabeth Closs (Stanford University)
This book develops an approach to language change based on construction grammar in order to reconceptualize grammaticalization and lexicalization. The authors show that language change proceeds by micro-steps involving every aspect of grammar including pragmatics and discourse functions. A new and productive approach to historical linguistics.
