摘要: Human languages are quintessentially historical phenomena. Every known aspect of linguistic form and content is subject to change in time (Lehmann, 1995; Bybee, 2004). Many facts language, syntactic no less than semantic, find their explanation the processes that generated them. If adpositions were once verbs, then fact they tend occur on same side arguments as do verbs (“cross-category harmony”: Hawkins, 1983) a matter contingency rather reflection inherent structural constraints human language (Delancey, 1993).
