Article emergence in old English : a constructionalist perspective
This book investigates the emergence of the definite and the indefinite article in English. Analyzing Old English prose texts, it discusses the nature of linguistic categorization and argues that a cognitive, usage-based construction grammar approach best explains when, how and why the article category developed. The observable grammaticalization is reconceptualized as constructionalization, which is triggered by analogy and frequency effects.
