'COME' and 'GO' off the Beaten Grammaticalization Path

by Maud Devos (Editor), Jenneke van der Wal (Editor)

Overview

This edition brings together some lesser known grammaticalization paths travelled by ‘come’ and ‘go’ in familiar and less familiar languages. No single book volume has been dedicated to the topic of grammatical targets different from tense and aspect so far. This study will increase our insight in grammaticalization processes in general as they force us to rethink certain aspects of grammaticalization.
