Applying a functional approach, he tackles adpositions containing the French noun travers or the Italian noun traverso , previously never analysed from a diachronic perspective. This study enriches our knowledge of the expressions analysed and their functioning in the past, but also in present-day French and Italian, providing diachronic observations regarding functional notions put to the test. Thomas Hoelbeek?s work also contributes to a better understanding of the grammaticalisation mechanisms of complex constructions, and shows that typologically related languages may evolve differently in their ways of representing space. 410 0$aBrill's studies in historical linguistics ;$vVolume 7. 606 $aRomance languages$xGrammar, Comparative 606 $aRomance languages$xSemantics 606 $aFrench language$xGrammar, comparative$xItalian 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRomance languages$xGrammar, Comparative. 615 0$aRomance languages$xSemantics. 615 0$aFrench language$xGrammar, comparative$xItalian. 676 $a440.045 700 $aHoelbeek$b Thomas$0982109 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163089603321 996 $aThe evolution of complex spatial expressions within the romance family$92241401 997 $aUNINA
