The studies were first presented in the fourth, fifth and sixth workshops at the ?Language Variation and Change in Ancient and Medieval Europe? summer schools, organized on the island of Naxos, Cyclades, Greece and online between 2019 and 2021. The book is divided into two parts that both focus on modern tools and methodologies of analyzing and accounting for language change. The first part focuses on common directions of change in Indo-European languages and beyond, and the second part emphasizes explanations that reveal the role of language contact. The volume promotes a dialogue between approaches to language change having their starting point in structural and typological aspects of the history of languages on the one hand, and approaches concentrating on external factors on the other. Throughthis dialogue, the volume enriches knowledge on the contrast or complementarity of internally- and externally-motivated causes of language change. Nikolaos Lavidas is Associate Professor of Diachronic Linguistics at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. His research interests lie in the areas of language change, (historical) language contact, historical corpora, and syntax-semantics interface. Alexander Bergs is Full Professor and Chair of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Osnabrück, Germany. His research interests include language variation and change, constructional approaches to language, the role of context in language, the syntax/pragmatics interface and cognitive poetics. Elly van Gelderen is Regents Professor at Arizona State University, USA. She is a syntactician interested in language change. Her work shows how regular syntactic change (grammaticalization and the linguistic cycle) provides insight into the faculty of language. Ioanna Sitaridou is a Professor of Spanish and Historical Linguistics at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Queens? College, Cambridge, UK. Her main areas of research are comparative and diachronic syntax of the Romance languages, in particular 13th Century Spanish; and dialectal Greek, especially Pontic Greek. . 606 $aHistorical linguistics 606 $aLinguistic change 606 $aLanguage and languages 606 $aHistorical Linguistics 606 $aLanguage Change 606 $aLanguage History 615 0$aHistorical linguistics. 615 0$aLinguistic change. 615 0$aLanguage and languages. 615 14$aHistorical Linguistics. 615 24$aLanguage Change. 615 24$aLanguage History. 676 $a417.7 700 $aLavidas$b Nikolaos$0802455 701 $aBergs$b Alexander$0624738 701 $avan Gelderen$b Elly$0168043 701 $aSitaridou$b Ioanna$01435937 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910755077303321 996 $aInternal and External Causes of Language Change$93593979 997 $aUNINA
