Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Part I. General issues -- What makes grammaticalization? An appraisal of its components and its frings -- Lexicalisation and grammaticalization: Opposite or orthogonal? -- Part II. On builiding grammar from below and from above: Between phonology and pragmatics -- Exploring grammaticalization from below -- Grammaticalization v. pragmaticaliuation? The development of pragmatic markers in German and Italian -- Grammaticalization without coevolution of form and meaning: The case of tense-aspect in East and mainland Southeast Asia -- The rise of an indefinite article: The case of Macedonian eden -- Part III. Grammatical derivation -- Grammaticalization via extending derivation -- Grammaticalization the derivational way: The Russian aspectual prefixes po-, za-, ot- -- Part IV. The role of lexical semantics and of constructions -- The role of predicate meaning in the devekopment of reflexivity -- Modals and the boundaries of grammaticalization: the case of Russian, Polish and Serbian-Croatian -- The evolution of passives as grammatical constructions in Northern Slavic and Baltic languages -- Backmatter
Summary: The status of grammaticalization has been the subject of many controversial discussions. The contributions to What makes Grammaticalization? approach the prevalent phenomenon from the angle of language structure and focus on the interrelation between the levels of phonology, pragmatics (inference), discourse and the lexicon and some of them try to integrate the areal perspective. A wealth of data from Slavonic languages as well as from languages of other genetic and areal affiliation is discussed. The book is of interest to linguists specializing in grammaticalization, lexicalization and morphological typology, to language typologists as well as to functional, historical and cognitive linguists.
