Tendencias actuales en la investigación diacrónica de la lengua
El presente volumen es la compilación de las contribuciones que se presentaron en el VIII Congreso Nacional de la Asociación de Jóvenes Investigadores de Historiografía e Historia de la Lengua Española (AJIHLE), celebrado en Barcelona los días 2, 3 y 4 de abril de 2008. Durante estos tres días, un importante número de investigadores noveles procedentes de distintas universidades nacionales e internacionales, convirtieron la Universidad de Barcelona (UB) y la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB) en un lugar propicio para el debate y la puesta en común de las principales líneas de investigación que actualmente se desarrollan en el ámbito del estudio histórico de la lengua. Así lo demuestran, como podrá observar el lector en las páginas que siguen, tanto la relevancia de los ponentes invitados en el mundo de la investigación histórica del español como la actualidad de los contenidos presentados en las dos mesas redondas y la diversidad de los temas de las distintas comunicaciones que los socios presentaron.
Current Projects in Historical Lexicography
Current Projects in Historical Lexicography brings together seven papers by present and recent editors of historical dictionaries and lexical databases. The collection is introduced with an overview of the history of historical lexicography from the ancient world to the present day, with particular emphasis on the major nineteenth-century dictionaries of German, French, English, Dutch, Swedish, and Danish, and on their successors. In the first paper, Javier Martín Arista describes the present state of, and the prospects for, the Nerthus lexical database of Old English. The next two introduce specialized dictionaries of the language of medieval and early modern texts: Fernando Tejedo-Herrero...
Beyond Grammaticalization and Discourse Markers
Beyond Grammaticalization and Discourse Markers offers a comprehensive account of the most promising new directions in the field of grammaticalization. From major theoretical issues to hardly addressed experimental questions, this volume explores new ways to expand – or challenge – current ideas on grammaticalization.
Romance motion verbs in language change
Cross-linguistically, motion verbs are frequently involved in language change and feature a wide array of motion-related constructions. The aim of this volume is to grasp more completely the typological characteristics and the developmental potential of motion verbs and to acknowledge the formal and functional diversity of motion-related constructions in Romance languages. To this end, the contributions in this collection provide synchronic and diachronic as well as typologically oriented studies that focus on motion verbs and single- and multi-verb constructions that have received scant attention to date. These include verbal periphrases, (pseudo-/semi-)copula and pseudo-coordinated constru...
Proceedings of the XIII EURALEX International Congress
EURALEX congresses are true to the word international in their title: the contributors to these proceedings come from all around the World, and the number of languages discussed is high. These proceedings contain papers written in six languages: Catalan, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. This significant presence of many languages seems only fitting for a European association focused on the study and representation of words, and signals that interest in researching and improving dictionaries is widespread.
Cognitive Linguistics and Lexical Change
This monograph offers the first in-depth lexical and semantic analysis of motion verbs in their development from Latin to nine Romance languages — Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Catalan, Occitan, Sardinian, and Raeto-Romance — demonstrating that the patterns of innovation and continuity attested in the data can be accounted for in cognitive linguistic terms. At the same time, the study illustrates how the insights gained from Latin and Romance historical data have profound implications for the cognitive approaches to language — in particular, for Leonard Talmy’s motion-framing typology and George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s conceptual metaphor theory. The book should appeal to scholars interested in historical Romance linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and lexical change.

Moving from the language’s Latin roots to its present-day forms, this concise book offers readers insights into the origin and evolution of Spanish, the historical and cultural changes that shaped it, and its spread around the world. A Brief History of the Spanish Language focuses on the most important aspects of the development of the Spanish lan...
