Functional Heads Across Time

Syntactic Reanalysis and Change

Herausgeber: Egedi, Barbara; Hegedüs, Veronika

Beschreibung

This volume explores the role that functional elements play in syntactic change and investigates the semantic and functional features that are the driving force behind those changes. It contains both case studies of individual languages such as German, Hungarian, and Romanian, and detailed investigations of cross-linguistic phenomena.
