Description

Semantic Change: A Collection of Thematic Papers This volume brings together a range of perspectives on semantic change, covering topics such as variability and diachronic trajectories in scale structures and quantification. The contributors, including established scholars and advanced PhD students, share their research findings and theoretical analyses of several languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Biblical Hebrew. The papers explore a variety of issues related to language change, including reference, modality, givenness, presuppositions, alternatives, temporality, epistemic indefiniteness, and the interfaces between semantics, syntax, pragmatics, and morphology. Original corpus studies underpin many of these analyses, offering new insights into the complexities of semantic change. Through its diverse range of topics and approaches, this collection provides a comprehensive overview of current research in the field of formal diachronic semantics.
