Cognitive approaches to grammaticalization
The final group of theories that we investigate in this part of the book are cognitive approaches to grammaticalisation (also called grammaticisation): the process of language change whereby grammatical or closed-class elements evolve gradually from the open-class system. Because it relates to language change, the process of grammaticalisation falls within the domain of historical linguistics. Grammaticalisation is also of interest to typologists, because pat terns of language change can inform their explanations of current patterns in language. A subset of these historical linguists and typologists have developed models that are informed by cognitive linguistics, which attempt to explain the grammaticalisation process. In addition, Langacker has also made some proposals relating to the cognitive mechanisms that might give rise to the gram maticalisation process. There is a considerable literature in this area; we restrict ourselves to three representative types of approach: (1) metaphorical extension approaches (such as the model developed by Bernd Heine and his col leagues); (2) Invited Inferencing Theory (developed by Elizabeth Closs Traugott and Richard Dasher); and (3) the subjectification model developed by Ronald Langacker. Grammaticalisation is the topic of Chapter 21.
The four types of cognitive approach that we investigate throughout Part III of the book are summarised in Figure 14.5. (The parentheses around Fillmore and Kay’s Construction Grammar indicate that this is not a fully ‘cognitive’ approach in the sense that we define it: while it subscribes to the symbolic thesis, it does not subscribe to the usage-based thesis.) As this diagram shows, the range of approaches that can be grouped together as ‘cognitive’ is considerable. We should emphasise that this diagram represents the way that we have grouped the approaches for the purposes of presentation in this book; while we have attempted to categorise these approaches on the basis of common themes or objectives, different taxonomies of cognitive approaches to grammar are certainly conceivable.
