The methods and goals of each group seem largely distinct: comparative linguists have by and large avoided reconstructing grammar, while grammaticalization theoreticians have either focused on explaining attested historical change or used internal reconstruction to formulate hypotheses about processes of change. In this collection, some of the leading voices in grammaticalization theory apply their methods to comparative data (largely drawn from indigenous languages of the Americas), showing not only that grammar can be reconstructed, but that the process of reconstructing grammar can yield interesting theoretical and typological insights. 410 0$aTypological studies in language ;$vv. 43. 606 $aComparative linguistics$vCongresses 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$vCongresses 615 0$aComparative linguistics 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general 676 $a410 686 $aEE 2050$2rvk 701 $aGildea$b Spike$01800604 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958038503321 996 $aReconstructing grammar$94345457 997 $aUNINA
