Category Change from a Constructional Perspective
Edited by Kristel Van Goethem, Muriel Norde, Evie Coussé and Gudrun Vanderbauwhede
Category change, broadly defined as the shift from one word class to another, is often studied as part of other changes, such as grammaticalization or lexicalization, but not in its own right. This volume offers a survey of different types of category change and their properties, e.g. abrupt versus… read more[Constructional Approaches to Language, 20] 2018. vii, 314 pp.
Exaptation and Language Change
Edited by Muriel Norde and Freek Van de Velde
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… read more[Current Issues in Linguistic Theory, 336] 2016. viii, 411 pp.
Language Contact: New perspectives
Edited by Muriel Norde, Bob de Jonge and Cornelius Hasselblatt
The study of languages in contact is an ever-relevant topic in linguistics, especially at present times when increasing globalization leads to a number of new contact situations. This volume features ten papers on various aspects of language contact by leading specialists in the field. In these… read more[IMPACT: Studies in Language, Culture and Society, 28] 2010. vii, 225 pp.
Up and down the Cline – The Nature of Grammaticalization
Edited by Olga Fischer, Muriel Norde and Harry Perridon
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)… read more[Typological Studies in Language, 59] 2004. viii, 406 pp.
2025 The fate of ‘pseudo-’ words: A contrastive corpus-based analysis Languages in Contrast 25:1, pp. 23–50 | Article
The present study examines the fate of the neoclassical combining form pseudo- in eight European languages, belonging to Germanic (Danish, Dutch, English, German and Swedish) and Romance (French, Italian, Spanish). In order to gain a better understanding of the synchronic morphological behaviour… read more

2018 Chapter 3. Derivation without category change: A network-based analysis of diminutive prefixoids in Dutch Category Change from a Constructional Perspective, Van Goethem, Kristel, Muriel Norde, Evie Coussé and Gudrun Vanderbauwhede (eds.), pp. 47–90 | Chapter
Dutch derivational morphology is rich in intensifying prefixoids, i.e. morphemes that occur as independent lexemes but have an intensifying meaning when bound to adjectives or adverbs. A specific variant of these are diminutive prefixoid constructions such as bloedjeserieus (blood-dim-serious)… read more
2018 Chapter 1. Category change from a constructional perspective: Introduction Category Change from a Constructional Perspective, Van Goethem, Kristel, Muriel Norde, Evie Coussé and Gudrun Vanderbauwhede (eds.), pp. 3–12 | Chapter
2016 Exaptation from the perspective of construction morphology Exaptation and Language Change, Norde, Muriel and Freek Van de Velde (eds.), pp. 163–195 | Article
In this paper, we explore how the process of exaptation can be modelled within a constructional framework of morphology. Assuming that constructions (of varying levels of schematicity and complexity) are organized in constructional networks, we consider issues related to ‘obsolescence’ and… read more
2016 Exaptation: Taking stock of a controversial notion in linguistics Exaptation and Language Change, Norde, Muriel and Freek Van de Velde (eds.), pp. 1–35 | Article
2014 Bleaching, productivity and debonding of prefixoids: A corpus-based analysis of ‘giant’ in German and Swedish Morphology and its interfaces: Syntax, semantics and the lexicon, Amiot, Dany, Delphine Tribout, Natalia Grabar, Cédric Patin and Fayssal Tayalati (eds.), pp. 256–274 | Article
In this paper, we present a contrastive survey of a morpheme originally meaning ‘giant’ in German and Swedish. In both languages, this morpheme has developed into a prefixoid with simile or intensifying meaning. More recently, these prefixoids have been shown to occur as free morphemes as well, and… read more
2013 Tracing the origins of the Swedish group genitive The Genitive, Carlier, Anne and Jean-Christophe Verstraete (eds.), pp. 299–332 | Article
The term “group genitive” refers to all constructions in Swedish where the invariable genitive morpheme is attached to the right edge of complex NPs, instead of to the head noun. This paper focuses on one particular type of group genitive, in which the genitive marker is enclitically attached to a… read more
2012 Lehmann’s parameters revisited Grammaticalization and Language Change: New reflections, Davidse, Kristin, Tine Breban, Lieselotte Brems and Tanja Mortelmans (eds.), pp. 73–110 | Article
Grammaticalization, and especially degrammaticalization, are polysemous terms. The term ‘grammaticalization’ has been used to refer to changes from a lexical item to a grammatical item (‘primary grammaticalization’), and from a grammatical item to a ‘more grammatical’ item (‘secondary… read more
2010 Introduction Language Contact: New perspectives, Norde, Muriel, Bob de Jonge and Cornelius Hasselblatt (eds.), pp. 1–6 | Article
2010 Degrammaticalization: Three common controversies Grammaticalization: Current views and issues, Stathi, Katerina, Elke Gehweiler and Ekkehard König (eds.), pp. 123–150 | Article
The term ‘degrammaticalization’, originally coined by Lehmann in 1982 for a supposedly non-existent phenomenon, soon came to be applied to a number of often entirely different changes. Since such ‘counterexamples’ pose a potential challenge to the unidirectionality of grammaticalization, they have… read more

2001 The loss of lexical case in Swedish Grammatical Relations in Change, Faarlund, Jan Terje (ed.), pp. 241–272 | Article
One of the most fundamental changes in the history of the Germanic languages was the loss of inflectional case marking. This paper will discuss the mechanisms involved in the decline of inflectional case systems with special reference to the loss of lexical case in Swedish. It will be seen that the… read more
