Abstract
|
|
|
|
| The Mind-Bending Grammars project innovatively combines grammaticalization research with research on the individual mind. We present EMMA (Early Modern Multiloquent Authors), a new large-scale longitudinal corpus comprising the work of 50 prolific authors, and illustrate, on the basis of this corpus, how aging affects the flexibility with which grammatical innovations are adopted and how micro- and macro-levels of change (individual vs. community) interact. |
