Grammaticalization occurs in all of the world's languages. Xiu-Zhi Zoe Wu demonstrates general linguistic principles present and active in the phenomenon of grammaticalization whilst also describing the modelling of language in formal theoretical approaches to syntax; so this book fills two major gaps in the current study of linguistics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrammaticalization and Language Change in Chinese\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates how studies of language development and change provide special insights into the understanding of current, synchronic systems of language. Using patters from Chinese, the author establishes cross-linguistic generalizations about language change and grammaticalization. This book should be of great interest to Chinese linguists and readers interested in language change in different languages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45236383514775,"sku":"9780415864558","price":5005.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415864558.webp?v=1769212810","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/grammaticalization-and-language-change-in-chinese-a-formal-view-9780415864558","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
