The focus of this collection is on the changing properties of subjects and objects, although the scope of the volume goes beyond the central problems pertaining to case marking and word order. The diachrony of syntactic and morphosyntactic phenomena are approached from different theoretical perspectives, generative grammar, valency grammar, and functionalism. The languages dealt with include Old English, Mainland Scandinavian, Icelandic, German and other Germanic languages, Latin, French and other Romance languages, Northeast Caucasian, Eskimo, and Popolocan. This book provides an opportunity to compare different theoretical approaches to similar phenomena in different languages and language families. 410 0$aStudies in language companion series ;$vv. 56. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general 606 $aHistorical linguistics 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general. 615 0$aHistorical linguistics. 676 $a415 701 $aFaarlund$b Jan Terje$f1943-$0186858 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823712903321 996 $aGrammatical Relations in Change$93998608 997 $aUNINA
