Book Synopsis A Functional Discourse Grammar Theory of Grammaticalization by : Riccardo Giomi
Book excerpt: Drawing on typological arguments, the volume challenges the widespread assumption that morphosyntactic and phonological change are fundamental aspects of grammaticalization and replaces it by a definition of grammaticalization as an essentially functional (semantic and pragmatic) process of language change.
