The fifteen contributions assembled in this volume study similative and equative constructions in typologically and genetically distant languages, albeit with a focus on Africa, and from a range of perspectives. Purely synchronically oriented case studies are supplemented by contributions that also shed light on the diachronic development of similative and equative constructions in language contact situations. Sources of similative morphemes and lexically expressed concepts of likeness are examined, and little-known multifunctionality patterns and grammaticalisation targets of similative morphemes - such as purpose clause markers, modality morphemes and markers of glottonyms - are discussed. Based on a sample of 119 languages worldwide, a new typology of equative constructions is proposed. The book should be of interest to typologists, semanticists, specialists of grammaticalization, historical linguistics and syntax." 410 0$aTypological studies in language ;$vVolume 117. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xCoordinate constructions 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammaticalization 606 $aContrastive linguistics 606 $aTypology (Linguistics) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xCoordinate constructions. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammaticalization. 615 0$aContrastive linguistics. 615 0$aTypology (Linguistics) 676 $a415 702 $aTreis$b Yvonne 702 $aVanhove$b Martine 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466156603321 996 $aSimilative and equative constructions$92157644 997 $aUNINA
