Produktinformationen zu „Diachronic Syntax “
This book shows how the generative approach to linguistics may be used to understand how languages change. Ian Roberts explains how generative theory can throw light on central questions in historical linguistics, including word-order change, grammaticalization, and reanalysis. He examines the links between syntactic change and first-language acquisition and considers the effects of language contact. He provides numerous examples from a range of different languages,guides to further reading, and a comprehensive glossary. This is the ideal textbook introduction for students of syntactic change.
Klappentext zu „Diachronic Syntax “
This book shows how the generative approach to linguistics may be used to understand how languages change. Generative diachronic syntax has developed since the inception of the principles and parameters approach to comparative syntax in the early 1980s: it has become increasingly important in historical linguistics and generative theory, acting as a bridge between them and providing insights to both. Ian Roberts relates work in historical linguistics to contemporarywork on universal grammar and historical syntactic variation. He explains how standard questions in historical linguistics - including word-order change, grammaticalization, and reanalysis - can be explored in terms of current generative theory. He examines the nature of the links between syntacticchange and first-language acquisition and considers the short and long-term effects of language contact. Professor Roberts provides numerous examples from a range of different languages, guides to further reading, and a comprehensive glossary. This is the ideal textbook introduction for students of syntactic change.

Rezension zu „Diachronic Syntax “
...this work gathers together a wealth of research linking language change to a numbe of other linguistic areas, and as such is ambitious in its scope. It is a welcome addition to the body of literature on language change. Johanna L. Wood Folia Linguistica Diachronic syntax will serve as an incentive and inspiration for generative researchers of historical linguistics. Marion Elenbass, Journal of Linguistics
