ISBN: 9780198783541 出版年：2014 页码：299 Traugott, Elizabeth Closs Trousdale, Graeme Oxford University Press

This book develops an approach to language change based on construction grammar in order to reconceptualize grammaticalization and lexicalization. The authors show that language change proceeds by micro-steps involving every aspect of grammar including pragmatics and discourse functions. A new and productive approach to historical linguistics.
