Exaptation and Language Change
ISBN: 9789027248558 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 411 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume is the first collection of papers that is exclusively dedicated to the concept of exaptation, a notion from evolutionary biology that was famously introduced into linguistics by Roger Lass in 1990. The past quarter-century has seen a heated debate on the properties of linguistic exaptation, its demarcation from other processes of linguistic change, and indeed the question of whether it is a useful concept in historical linguistics at all. The contributions in the present volume reflect these diverging points of view. Along with a comprehensive introduction, covering the history of...

The Adjectives in Germanic and Romance
ISBN: 9789027255952 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although the Germanic and Romance languages are two branches of the same language family and although both have developed the adjective as a separate syntactic and morphological category, the syntax, morphology, and interpretation of adjectives is by no means the same in these two language groups, and there is even variation within each of the language groups. One of the main aims of this volume is to map the differences and similarities in syntactic behavior, morphology, and meaning of the Germanic and Romance adjective and to find an answer to the following question: Are the...

Intersubjectivity and Intersubjectification in Grammar and Discourse: Theoretical and descriptive advances
ISBN: 9789027242532 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 161 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Recent years saw a growing interest in the study of subjectivity, as the linguistic expression of speaker involvement. Intersubjectivity, defined by Traugott as "the linguistic expression of a speaker/writer's attention to the hearer/reader," on the other hand, has so far received little explicit attention in its own right, let alone systematic definition and operationalization. Intersubjectivity and seemingly related notions such as interpersonal meaning, appraisal, stance and metadiscourse, frequently appear in cognitive-functional accounts, as well as historical and more applied...

On Multiple Source Constructions in Language Change
ISBN: 9789027242679 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In much writing on language change, there is a tacit assumption that change operates on a single source construction to produce an innovative target construction. This volume challenges this assumption, by showing that many changes involve interactions between multiple source constructions. In fact, the involvement of multiple source constructions is unexceptional. The phenomenon is observed in phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. It is seen in language-internal change as well as in contact-induced change. Interactions may obtain between independent but historically related...
