Teised raamatud teemal:
"To date little work has been done on pragmatics within cognitive linguistics, especially from a historical perspective. The lectures presented in this volume give the first systematic account of how pragmatics can be incorporated into cognitive linguistics using a Diachronic Construction Grammar perspective. The author combines detailed study of the historical development of Discourse Structuring Markers like all the same, after all and by the way and propose ways in which to model them. A number of topics are addressed including what a usage based approach to language change is, differences between innovation and change, how to think about analogy and networks, how combinations of Discourse Structuring Markers like now then became a unit, and whether clause-initial and -final positions are constructions. Refinements of Diachronic Construction Grammar are proposed and tested"--

Elizabeth Closs Traugott, Ph.D. (1964), University of California at Berkeley, is Professor Emerita of Linguistics and English at Stanford University. She has conducted research in historical syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, lexicalization, socio-historical linguistics, and linguistics and literature. Former President of the International Society for Historical Linguistics (1979) and of the Linguistic Society of America (1987), she has (co-)authored five books, including Constructionalization and Constructional Changes (with Graeme Trousdale, 2013). She published over a hundred articles and co-edited six volumes including Approaches to Grammaticalization (with Bernd Heine, 1991, 2 volumes), and The Oxford Handbook of the History of English (with Terttu Nevalainen, OUP 2012). She holds honorary doctorates from the Universities of Stockholm and Uppsala.
