Constructions are generalizations over remembered exemplars of language use. These exemplars are stored with all their formal and functional properties, yielding constructional generalizations that contain many parameters of variation. Over time, as patterns of language use are changing, the generalizations are changing with them. This book illustrates the workings of constructional change with three corpus-based studies that reveal patterns of change at several levels of linguistic structure, ranging from allomorphy to word formation and to syntax. Taken together, the results strongly motivate the use of construction grammar in research on diachronic language change. This new perspective has wide-ranging consequences for the way historical linguists think about language change. It will be of particular interest to linguists working on morpho-syntax, sociolinguistics and corpus linguistics.Studies in English language.English languageGrammarConstruction grammarEnglish languageUsageLinguistic changeEnglish languageGrammar.Construction grammar.English languageUsage.Linguistic change.427Hilpert Martin618500UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910779633503321Constructional Change in English1071908UNINA
