On the relationship between linguistic creativity and change in morphological constructions
In this article, we consider the relationship between conceptual blending, creativity and morphological change, within the framework of Diachronic Construction Morphology (DCxM; Norde & Trousdale 2023). In particular, we suggest that a refinement to models of creativity in the literature might help to account better for different types of morphological change (Norde & Trousdale 2024). This is achieved via a contrastive analysis of two different s…
Creativity, paradigms and morphological constructions
Pseudoparticiples follow phonotactic, morphological, and syntactic rules for regular participles, but they are special in that they lack corresponding verbal forms. This article offers a constructionist account of two types of pseudoparticiples in Dutch, i.e., those with a nominal base and the prefix ont- or be-, e.g., ontkoeid 'de-cowed' or bedauwd 'bedewed'. Their properties raise interesting questions regarding the nature of morphological crea…
Issues in Diachronic Construction Morphology
Recent years have seen an increasing interest in Diachronic Construction Grammar (DCxG), a cognitive approach to language change that is concerned with how form-meaning pairings, of various degrees of abstraction and complexity, come to be conventionalised, adapted and lost in a linguistic community. Recently, there has been particular interest in the ways in which constructions are organised in networks (see, e.g., the articles in Barðdal et al.…

Exaptation and Language Change
This volume is the first collection of papers that is exclusively dedicated to the concept of exaptation, a notion from evolutionary biology that was famously introduced into linguistics by Roger Lass in 1990. The past quarter-century has seen a heated debate on the properties of linguistic exaptation, its demarcation from other processes of linguistic change, and indeed the question of whether it is a useful concept in historical linguistics at …

Degrammaticalization and constructionalization
Degrammaticalization
Muriel Norde shows that linguistic change via the process of grammaticalization is reversible, and that degrammaticalization can occur on all levels: semantic, morphological, syntactic, and phonological.
Lexicalization and language change (review)
Demarcating degrammaticalization
Ever since its introduction by Christian Lehmann in 1982, the term ‘degrammaticalization’ has been the subject of much controversy. There has been considerable disagreement about what kind of phenomena the term refers to, and indeed if degrammaticalization exists at all. In this paper I will argue that degrammaticalization is not grammaticalization in reverse, but a separate kind of change worthy of study in its own right. The purpose of this pap…
Up and down the Cline – The Nature of Grammaticalization
The basic idea behind this volume is to probe the nature of grammaticalization. Its contributions focus on the following questions: (i) In how far can grammaticalization be considered a universal diachronic process or mechanism of change and in how far is it conditioned by synchronic factors? (ii) What is the role of the speaker in grammaticalization? (iii) Does grammaticalization itself provide a cause for change or is it an epiphenomenon, i.e. …

Deflexion as a counterdirectional factor in grammatical change
The History of the Genitive in Swedish
Middle Low German-Middle Scandinavian language contact and morphological simplification
The impact of Low German on the continental Scandinavian languages (Danish, Swedish and Norwegian) in the days of the Hanseatic League has been a decisive chapter in Scandinavian language history. Not only were a substantial amount of words transferred from Middle Low German into Middle Scandinavian, it has also been argued that Middle Low German influence played an important part in the loss of inflectional morphology (deflexion 1 ) in most vari…
