Overview"This two-volume work presents a number of diverse theoretical viewpoints on grammaticalization and gives insights into the genesis, development and organization of grammatical categories in a number of languages world-wide, with particular attention to morphosyntactic and semantic-pragmatic issues. The papers in volume one are divided into two sections, the first concerned with general method and the second with issues of directionality. Those in volume two are divided into five sections: verbal structure, argument structure, subordination, modality, and multiple paths of grammaticalization. The study of grammaticalization raises a number of fundamental theoretical issues pertaining to the relation of ""langue"" and ""parole"", creativity and automatic coding, synchrony and diachrony, categoriality and continua, typological characteristics and language-specific forms, and therefore challenges some of the basic tenets of 20th-century linguistics."
