The papers, written by leading scholars combining expertise in historical linguistics and grammaticalization research, study variation in grammaticalization scenarios in a variety of language families (Slavic, Indo-Aryan, Tibeto-Burman, Bantu, Mande, "Khoisan", Siouan, and Mayan). The volume stands out in the vast literature on grammaticalization by focusing on variation in grammaticalization scenarios and areal patterns in grammaticalization. Apart from documenting new grammaticalization paths, the volume makes a methodological contribution as it addresses an important question of how to reconcile universal outcomes of grammaticalization processes with the fact that the input to these processes is language-specific and construction-specific UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30848/1/641707.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30848/1/641707.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30848/1/641707.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/36120 ER -
