Angebote / Angebote:
The articles in this collection are centred around the question of what can be meant by assuming that change is a property of language. Either from general points of view, or in the light of specific examples, the following main topics are discussed: language use and language change as interrelated manifestations of human cognition, the directionality of linguistic development, the predictability of language change, methods of semantic reconstruction, aims of explaining language change and restrictions in doing so, the relationship between cognitive linguistics and philology.
