Essays in Our Changing Order
Author: Thorstein Bunde Veblen
language: en
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
Release Date:
This is a volume of Veblen's most important studies, published posthumously in 1936. The work is divided into three major segments: essays on economics, including the history of the field; miscellaneous papers, which nearly all come to rest on matters of religion and philosophy; and what Ardzrooni, Veblen's editor calls war essays, which again reveal a very worldly and wise observer of current events and critic of national policies.
Word-Order Change as a Source of Grammaticalisation
Author: Susann Fischer
language: en
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
Release Date: 2010-06-30
This book presents a new perspective on the interaction between word-order and grammaticalisation by investigating the changes that stylistic fronting and oblique subjects have undergone in Romance (Catalan, French, Spanish) as compared to Germanic (English, Icelandic). It discusses a great deal of historical comparative data showing that stylistic fronting and oblique subjects have (had) a semantic effect in the Germanic and in the Romance languages, and that they both appear in the same functional category. The loss of stylistic fronting and oblique subjects is seen as an effect of grammaticalisation, where grammaticalisation is taken to be a regular case of parameter change. In contrast to previous and recent approaches to grammaticalisation, however, the author shows that it is not the loss of morphology that triggers grammaticalisation with subsequent word-order changes, but that the word-order change sets off grammaticalisation in the functional categories, which is then followed by the loss of morphology.
