Book Description
"This book offers the first book-length treatment of the diachronic study of English exclamatives, tracing their development from 1500 through to the 21st century. The volume shines a light on independent wh-exclamatives in the history of English. These will be analyzed with reference to insubordination, with insubordination understood as the phenomenon of sentences displaying formal features of subordinate clauses, such as through subordinated word order or the use of conjunctions. In particular, Schröder calls attention to the development of three prototypical wh-exclamatives as observed in three newly created genre-balance corpora comprising prose fiction, dialogues and personal correspondence, uncovering new insights into the differences in their evolution. In its analysis of English exclamatives over time and broader exploration of the impact of genre on constructional productivity, the book raises key questions about existing claims in scholarship on Diachronic Construction Grammar and outlines ways forward for new areas of inquiry. This volume will appeal to scholars interested in diachronic linguistics, historical syntax, language variation and change, and the history of English"--

Diachronic Construction Grammar
Author: Jóhanna Barðdal
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
ISBN: 9027268614
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Construction Grammar as a framework offers a new perspective on traditional historical questions in diachronic linguistics and language change: how do new constructions arise, how should competition in diachronic variation be accounted for, how do constructions fall into disuse, and how do constructions change in general, formally and/or semantically, and with what implications for the language system as a whole? This volume offers a broad introduction to the confluence of Construction Grammar and historical syntax, and also detailed case studies of various instances of syntactic change modeled within Construction Grammar. The volume demonstrates that Construction Grammar as a theory is particularly well suited for modeling historical changes in morphosyntax, and it also documents challenging new phenomena that require a theoretical account within any competing framework of syntactic change.
