The Introduction to the volume and a chapter by Henning Andersen clarify the theoretical bases for this observation, which is exemplified and discussed in separate chapters by Kristin Bakken, Alexander Bergs and Dieter Stein, Vit Bubenik, Ulrich Busse, Marianne Mithun, Lene Schøsler, and John Charles Smith in the light of data from the histories of Norwegian, English, Hindi, Northern Iroquoian, and Romance. A final chapter by Michael Shapiro adds a philosophical perspective. The papers were first presented in a workshop on "Actualization Patterns in Linguistic Change" at the XIV International Conference on Historical Linguistics, Vancouver, B.C. in 1999.Amsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.Series IV,Current issues in linguistic theory ;v. 219.Linguistic changeCongressesMarkedness (Linguistics)CongressesLinguistic changeMarkedness (Linguistics)417/.7Andersen Henning1934-1632286International Conference on Historical Linguistics(14th :1999 :Vancouver, B.C.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812689403321Actualization4048018UNINA
