Wortarten Und Grammatikalisierung Perspektiven in System Und Erweb

This collection of papers opens a debate on the relationship between processes of grammaticalisation and systems of word-classes. It centers on the question of how diachronic grammaticalization processes and synchronic hierarchies of grammaticality relate to the lexico-grammatical categorization of the word inventory in natural languages (= systems of word-classes). Whereas systems of word-classes are normally only seen as an external system of reference for processes of grammaticalization, the papers in this volume inquire into the grammaticalization of the word-classes themselves (in the language system and in language acquisition).Knobloch, Clemens is the author of 'Wortarten Und Grammatikalisierung Perspektiven in System Und Erweb', published 2005 under ISBN 9783110184112 and ISBN 3110184117.
