{"product_id":"grammaticalisation-paths-of-have-in-english","title":"Grammaticalisation Paths of «Have» in English","description":"This book explores the diachronic emergence of the verb \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e in English in its various grammatical uses. The development of grammatical functions of \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e is analysed from pragmatic-semantic, morphosyntactic and phonetic angles. Apart from the well-known and formerly studied cases of the rise of perfect and obligative \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e, the author describes the developments of the \u003ci\u003ehad better \u003c\/i\u003estructure as well as causative \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e which have not received much scholarly attention thus far. He shows that the first examples of the fully grammaticalised constructions with \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e generally appear earlier than it is commonly believed. He also offers possible motivations behind the growth of obligative and causative \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e. This book proves that the changes leading to the rise of new grammatical constructions occur in a specific order: pragmatic-semantic changes precede morphosyntactic changes and phonetic reductions are the last to take place.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54248575336792,"sku":"9783631600276","price":81.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783631600276.jpg?v=1767452440","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/grammaticalisation-paths-of-have-in-english","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
