Measurements of grammaticalization Universiteit Antwerpen
There is a broad consensus that grammaticalization is a process that is gradual and largely unidirectional: lexical elements acquire grammatical functions, and grammatical elements can undergo further grammaticalization (Hopper and Traugott 2003). This consensus is based on substantial cross-linguistic evidence. While most existing studies present qualitative evidence, this dissertation discusses a quantitative approach that tries to measure ...
General introduction: Context, Intent and Variation in Grammaticalization Universiteit Antwerpen
This general introduction sets the stage for the current volume by discussing the state-of-the-art of research on the role of context, intent, and variation in grammaticalization processes. We specifically discuss proposals that grammaticalization has different (sub)stages, each characterized by different mechanisms, attributes, and parameters. Succinctly put, we argue that context and intent are important in early-stage grammaticalization, ...
Beyond mere text frequency: assessing subtle grammaticalization by different quantitative measures. A case study on the Dutch soort construction KU Leuven
Grammaticalization has proven to be an insightful approach to semantic-morphosyntactic change within and across languages. Many studies, however, rely on assessing the large, obvious differences before and after the change. When investigating burgeoning or ongoing grammaticalization processes, it is notably harder to objectively measure the degree of grammaticalization. One approach is to gauge changes in the well-known ‘parameters’ of Lehmann, ...
