This is the second of two volumes deriving from papers presented at the Nineteenth Annual UWM linguistics Symposium held in Milwaukee in 1990. It focuses on the evolution of grammatical form and meaning from lexical material, which has reinvigorated historical analysis and theory and led to advances in the understanding of the relation between diachrony and universals. The richness and potential of some of the leading approaches to grammaticalization are here illustrated in thirteen selected papers.

This is a collection of invited papers that honours Professor Jacob Mey on the occasion of his eightieth birthday. Professor Mey is, and has for a long time been, at once one of the most respected, enterprising, industrious, scholarly and, now, avuncular members of the numerous linguistics communities in which he has worked. He has made, over a distinguished working life, significant contributions to all of the sub-disciplines of linguistics, from phonetics, through phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and especially pragmatics. He has sought to make connections between these sub-disciplines and broader areas of thought. These connections have resulted in ground breaking advances in, for example, Japanese sociolinguistics, pragmatics and artificial intelligence, Marxist linguistics, pragmatics and therapy, pragmatics and machine-processed information, gender and language, literary pragmatics and societal pragmatics. The collection ends with an in-depth discussion between Professor Mey and one of the editors in which Professor Mey speaks fully and frankly about his life in language and language in life.

Les treize études réunies dans ce volume sont consacrées au phénomène de la dérivation depuis l’indo-européen (sanskrit védique, tokharien, vieux norrois, vieux slave, grec ancien, latin) jusqu’à nos langues modernes. Les contributions réunies ici proposent, pour une part d’entre elles, de nouvelles hypothèses sur l’origine de certains suffixes, tandis que d’autres exposent les résultats de leurs évolutions et leur productivité. Les observations synchroniques et diachroniques sur le comportement suffixal concernent à la fois la sémantique, la question du développement du vocabulaire spécialisé et celle de leur rôle proprement grammatical, en particulier le rapport entre adjectif et substantif. Une contribution centrée sur l’accentuation forme la conclusion de l’ensemble. The thirteen papers brought together in this volume are devoted to the phenomenon of derivation from Indo-European (Vedic Sanskrit, Tokharian, Old Norse, Old Slavic, Ancient Greek, Latin) up to our modern languages. The contributions gathered here offer, for a part of them, new hypotheses on the origin of certain suffixes, while others expose the results of their evolutions and their productivity. Synchronic and diachronic observations on suffixal behavior concern semantics, the question of the development of specialized vocabulary and that of their strictly grammatical role, in particular the relationship between adjective and substantive. A contribution focused on the accent concludes the volume.

On the basis of synchronic and diachronic data analysis, the volume takes a close look at the synchronic layers of binominal size noun and type noun uses (a bunch/a load of X; a sort of X; a Y type of X) and reconsiders the framework of grammaticalization in view of issues raised by the phrases under discussion. As a result, a construction grammar-approach to grammaticalization is developed which does justice to the syntagmatic lexical, or collocational, reclustering observed in the data within an eclectic cognitive-functional approach.
