Hardback. Condition: New. The tendency to view grammar in isolation from multilingual settings is so pervasive that even modern approaches do not often overcome the monolingual paradigm. At the same time, the effects of language contact very clearly manifest themselves, as discussed in the literature on language contact, contact-induced and "shared" grammaticalization, sometimes resulting in areal patterns particularly relevant for linguistic typology. It appears that there continues to be an important gap between the fact of commonly happening grammatical transfer in language contact and our theorizing about such grammars. This gap needs to be narrowed and eventually closed for the sake of both theories of grammar and theories of language contact. In fact, one can take this further and ask the question: Do we really need a separate theory of language contact? The rather attractive alternative would be to reduce the effects of language contact to theories of language acquisition, sociolinguistics, external factors as well as more generalised cognitive mechanisms such as copy and analogy which once properly interwoven they can offer holistic explanations. The aim of the edited volume is to contribute to this and other related questions.…

Hardback. Condition: New. This volume presents eight case studies examining diachronic linguistics and language contact, as well as different aspects of language change. The chapters cover a variety of topics and consider the relationship between historical data and linguistic theory. They also examine the diachronic development of linguistic characteristics in different levels of linguistic analysis including historical morpho-syntax, historical phonology, historical pragmatics and historical sociolinguistics. The authors propose modern methodologies of analyzing and explaining the diachronic development of various morpho-phonological and morpho-syntactic characteristics. Focusing on common directions of change in different languages, including English, Gothic, Ancient Greek, Eastern Indo-Aryan and Hebrew, they provide explanations that reveal the role of internal factors as well as of language contact. The volume promotes a dialogue between traditional approaches to language change and modern approaches utilizing new, statistical methodologies. Through this type of dialogue, the volume enriches our knowledge of theoretical perspectives, tools and methods that can facilitate a contrastive analysis of the diachronic development of linguistic characteristics.…
