Description

There is a continual growth of interest among linguists of all-theoretical denominations in grammaticalization, a concept central to many linguistic theories. However, the discussion of grammaticalization processes has often suffered from a shortage of concrete empirical studies from English. The book contains discussion of data and provides theoretical lead articles based on these data that should help sharpen the theoretical aspects involved, such as the definition and the logical connection of the component processes of grammaticalization.
