Book Synopsis Meaning Change in Grammaticalization by : Regine Eckardt
Book excerpt: The author explores the mechanisms underlying semantic change. Meaning changes work, and this is evident in processes of grammaticalisation in which lexical items lose autonomous meaning. Based on formal semantic theory, this book is useful for students of historical and comparative linguistics and formal semantics.
