"This textbook introduces and explains the fundamental issues, major research questions, and current approaches in the study of grammaticalization - the development of new grammatical forms from lexical items, and of further grammatical functions from existing grammatical forms. Grammaticalization has been a vibrant research field in recent years, and has proven effective in explaining a wide range of phenomena; it has even been claimed that the only true language universals are diachronic, and are related to cross-linguistic processes of grammaticalization. The chapters provide a detailed account of the major issues in the field: foundational questions such as directionality, criteria and parameters of grammaticalization, and phases and cycles; the much-debated issue of the motivations behind grammaticalization, including the role of language contact and typological influences; the advantages and disadvantages of different theoretical approaches; and the relationship between grammaticalization and process such as lexicalization, exaptation, and the development of discourse markers. Each chapter offers guidance on further reading, and concludes with study questions to encourage further discussion; there is also a glossary of key terminology in the field. Thanks to its comprehensive approach, the volume will serve as both a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students and a valuable reference work for researchers in the field"--

This book presents the state of the art in research on grammaticalization, the process by which lexical items acquire grammatical function, grammatical items get additional functions, and grammars are created. Leading scholars from around the world introduce and discuss the core theoretical and methodological bases of grammaticalization, report on work in the field, and point to promising directions for new research. They represent every relevant theoretical perspective and approach.Research on grammaticalization and its role in linguistic change encompasses work on languages from every major linguistic family. Its results offer valuable insights for all theoretical frameworks, including generative, construction, and cognitive grammar, and relates to work in fields such as phonology, sociolinguistics, and language acquisition. The handbook provides a full, critical assessment of every aspect of this research. It is divided into five parts, of which the first two are devoted to theory and method, the third and fourth to work in linguistic domains, classes, and cateogories, and the fifth to case studies of grammaticalization in a range of languages. It will be an indispensable source of information and inspiration for all those who wish to know more about this fascinating and important field.

In der typologischen Forschung sind Proximativ und Avertiv noch mit zwei zentralen Problemen behaftet: Neben der Problematik ihrer systematischen Trennung besteht kein Konsens über ihre Grammatikalisierungspfade. Im Anschluss an eine kritische Darlegung des Forschungsstands zu den Sprachen der Welt nimmt die vorliegende Arbeit eine neue systematische Differenzierung von Proximativ und Avertiv sowohl formalsemantisch als auch auf der Basis einschlägiger Tests vor und zeigt im Zuge ihrer Neudefinition auch die Abgrenzung zu Prospektiv, imperfectum de conatu und frustrierter Imminenz auf. Zur Erforschung der noch unklaren Grammatikalisierungsrichtung der Kategorien wird ein Modell für den Pfad Proximativ > Avertiv modifiziert, das in der diachronen Untersuchung korpusbasiert verifiziert wird. Die Eigenständigkeit der Grammeme wird anhand voneinander unabhängiger Grammatikalisierungspfade nachgewiesen. Diverse neue Grammatikalisierungspfade von Proximativ und Avertiv werden vom klassischen Latein bis in zehn romanische Gegenwartssprachen auf der Grundlage zahlreicher Korpora aufgezeigt und darüber hinaus auch neue Erkenntnisse in parallelen Entwicklungen, wie insbesondere des Futurs und Konditionals, dargelegt.
