Examples of degrammaticalisation""The basic idea behind this volume is to probe the nature of grammaticalization. Its contributions focus on the following questions: (i) In how far can grammaticalization be considered a universal diachronic process or mechanism of change and in how far is it conditioned by synchronic factors? (ii) What is the role of the speaker in grammaticalization? (iii) Does grammaticalization itself provide a cause for change or is it an epiphenomenon, i.e. a conglomeration of causal factors/mechanisms which elsewhere occur independently? (iv) If it is epiphenominal, how do we explain that similar pathwayGrammar, Comparative and general -- Grammaticalization -- CongressesGrammar, Comparative and general -- Grammaticalization -- Congresses.415Fischer Olga164714Norde Muriel619629Perridon Harry866092AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910782219203321Up and down the Cline - The Nature of Grammaticalization3819320UNINA
