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 606 $aItalian language$xGrammar, Comparative$xFrench 606 $aHistorical linguistics 606 $aFrench language$xGrammar, Comparative$xItalian$2fast 606 $aHistorical linguistics$2fast 606 $aItalian language$xGrammar, Comparative$xFrench$2fast 606 $aRomance languages$xGrammar, Comparative$2fast 606 $aRomance languages$xSemantics$2fast 615 0$aRomance languages$xGrammar, Comparative. 615 0$aRomance languages$xSemantics. 615 0$aFrench language$xGrammar, Comparative$xItalian. 615 0$aItalian language$xGrammar, Comparative$xFrench. 615 0$aHistorical linguistics. 615 7$aFrench language$xGrammar, Comparative$xItalian. 615 7$aHistorical linguistics. 615 7$aItalian language$xGrammar, Comparative$xFrench. 615 7$aRomance languages$xGrammar, Comparative. 615 7$aRomance languages$xSemantics. 676 $a445 700 $aHoelbeek$b Thomas$01647794 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975328203321 996 $aThe evolution of complex spatial expressions within the romance family$93995573 997 $aUNINA
