Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book of new work by leading international scholars considers developments in the study of diachronic linguistics and linguistic theory, including those concerned with the very definition of language change in the biolinguistic framework, parametric change in a minimalist conception of grammar, the tension between the observed gradual nature of language change and the binary nature of parameters, and whether syntactic change can be triggered internally orrequires the external stimuli produced by phonological or morphological change or through language contact. It then tests their value and applicability by examining syntactic change at different times and ina wide range of languages, including German, Chinese, Dutch, Sanskrit, Egyptian, Norwegian, old Italian, Portuguese, English, the Benue-Kwa languages of Niger-Congo, Catalan, Spanish, and old French. The book is divided into three parts devoted to (i) theoretical issues in historical syntax; (ii) external (such as contact and interference) and internal (grammatical) sources of morphosynactic change; and (iii) parameter setting and reanalysis.

RARE monograph on the nature and pace of grammatical change during the formative period of today`s Indo-Aryan languages, with emphasis on the emergence and development of the ergative construction in terms of the passive-to-ergative reanalysis and the co-existence of the ergative construction with the old and new analytic passive constructions. Based on a wealth of new data gathered from original poetic works in Apabhramsa (by Svayam?bhadeva, Puspadanta, Haribhadra, Somaprabha et al.), it also contains sections dealing with descriptive techniques of Medieval Indian grammarians (esp. Hemacandra), with all the Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhram??a examples consistently parsed and translated. 225x155mm. XXIV+267 pages. Hardcover. Front cover upper corner bumped. Cover corners and front cover bottom edge slightly rubbed. Rear cover bottom edge worn. Spine edges slightly bumped. Previous owner`s small stamp on whitepage upper corner. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare study of Apabhramsa, of particular interest to scholars and students of Indo-Aryan and general historical linguistics, especially those interested in the issues of morphosyntactic change and typology in their sociohistorical setting, is in good condition. The book is in : English.
