Turning night into day
We bring to light here two case studies from Albanian that show interesting semantic change, and we argue that in order to understand the particular changes involved, the concept of “milieu” (Christiansen and Joseph 2016: 56-7) should be invoked

The Opening in Burma
Despite the excitement that the reforms have sparked in Burma and abroad, Burma remains a military dictatorship. Serving or retired generals control every important institution, and the constitution guarantees military domination. Yet something profound is changing, even if this is not—or not yet—an outright transition to democracy. What is driving the changes, why are they happening now, and where will they lead
The Future in Modern Greek
Th e new book by Th eodore Markopoulos (2009) on the diachrony of the Greek future tense is subjected here to a thorough evaluation and is found to be a major and important contribution. Still, correctives are off ered to some analyses and to claims made about grammaticalization here

Pakistan After Musharraf
The protests ignited by General Pervez Musharraf’s 9 March 2007 sacking of Chief Justice Chaudhry provided a testament to the newfound importance of Pakistan’s media. Coverage of the lawyers’ movement protests and the government’s crude attempts to suppress it were brought to millions via satellite television and FM radio. The media’s role in the events that lead up to Musharraf’s resignation on 18 August 2008 is a study in unintended consequence…
Recovery of information in Relative Clauses
Modern Greek has a Relative Clause Formation process by which the target of Relativization is deleted under identity with the head of the Relative Clause – these Relative Clauses are introduced by the invariant complementizer particle pu , which also introduces factive complements. (Greek also has a movement strategy for Relative Clauses, with an inflected Relative pronoun, but the details of this process are irrelevant here.) Examples of the del…
Locatives and Obviation in Cree
Linguistic Universals and Syntactic Change
A crucial problem facing historical linguists is how to account for the direction of certain changes. The direction of change taken by two constructions, Object Raising and Object Deletion, between Medieval and Modern Greek, is documented here, and is shown to be explainable by reference to substantive universal constraints holding on the form these constructions can take in natural language, as evidenced by data from a variety of languages. We c…
