Romance motion verbs in language change
Cross-linguistically, motion verbs are frequently involved in language change and feature a wide array of motion-related constructions. The aim of this volume is to grasp more completely the typological characteristics and the developmental potential of motion verbs and to acknowledge the formal and functional diversity of motion-related constructions in Romance languages. To this end, the contributions in this collection provide synchronic and diachronic as well as typologically oriented studies that focus on motion verbs and single- and multi-verb constructions that have received scant attention to date. These include verbal periphrases, (pseudo-/semi-)copula and pseudo-coordinated constru...
Crosslinguistic Approaches to Language Analysis
This volume presents cutting edge linguistic research across the fields of syntax, semantics, morphology, translation studies, language acquisition, and phonology. It explores key topics such as bare partitives, differential object marking, the role of clitics, the semantics of grammatical and situational aspect, and existential quantifiers. The data come from English, Greek, Hungarian, Romanian and other Romance languages. Several papers also focus on the issues posed by the translation of various challenging structures into Romanian and other European languages.
Changes in Meaning and Function
Diachronic linguistics has been experiencing a strong revival during the last few decades, since an increasing number of researchers have assumed that evolutionary and historical factors must be considered to properly understand how natural languages work. This book offers new data and insights on some of the research lines which are currently being developed within the framework of diachronic language research. The papers brought together in this volume are characterized both by their originality and by their methodological diversity; the reader will thus find herein theoretical as well as empirical works, undertaken from various perspectives of analysis (diachronic cognitive semantics, grammaticalization theory, discursive traditions, historical phraseology, etc.). The final outcome is an eclectic volume which offers valuable information for every reader, regardless of whether they are experienced linguists or junior researchers willing to know the latest epistemological advances in this discipline.
