Opis

They represent every relevant theoretical perspective and approach.

Recenzje

Review from previous edition The Handbook has something to offer for all scholars of language change, regardless of their familiarity with grammaticalisation studies. It contains several excellent introductory chapters into the field ... it is not just an excellent comprehensive state of the art, but through many of its chapters it also contributes to and furthers ongoing debates, including that of the validity of grammaticalisation itself. Tine Breban, Journal of Historical Pragmatics
