Morphosyntactic Change: Functional and Formal Perspectives (Oxford Surveys in Syntax & Morphology) - Softcover
Synopsis
Olga Fischer presents a critical analysis of morphosyntactic change and the mechanisms that trigger it. She shows how changes in discourse, lexicon, semantics, pragmatics, and sound interact with changes in morphosyntax, and considers the interface between the internal and external factors of change. She reveals how rates and speed of change in morphosyntax can be used to explore the degree to which grammar is innate or learned. Her book will be of central interest and value to students of linguistic change, at graduate level and above.

About the Author
Olga Fischer is Professor of Germanic Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam, where her PhD thesis Syntactic Change and Causation: Developments in Infinitival Constructions in English was accepted in 1990. She is a contributor to the Cambridge History of the English Language (CUP 1992), co-author of The Syntax of Early English (CUP 2000), and co-editor of Form Miming Meaning and Pathways of Change (Benjamins 2000 and 2001).
Review
...an important book that deserves critical reading and careful thought. It will bring to a higher level current debates on analogy, gradualness, gradience, constuctions, and chunks of linguistic materials. * Elizabeth Cross Thraugott Functions of Languages * I found Fischer's evaluation of grammaticalization theory enlightening...work is ambitious, wide ranging undertaking, and is a valuable contribution to the limited but growing body of research that works towards bringing together teo seemingly disparate approaches to language change. * Johanna L. Wood Diachronica * It is clear that this is a most welcome, challenging and insightful book, which is undoubtedly required reading for anyone interested in the processes of morphosyntactic change. * Graeme Trousdale, Folia Linguistica *
