2	Language Contact and Grammatical Change more books like this by Bernd Heine, Tania Kuteva, Salikoko S Mufwene (Editor) add to wishlist The phenomenon of language contact, and how it affects the structure of languages, has been of great interest to linguists.

3	Cognitive Foundations of Grammar more books like this by Bernd Heine add to wishlist The main function of language is to convey meaning.

Linguistic explanations offered in terms of other exponents of language structure (for example, syntax) are likely to highlight ... see all copies from $8.85! new only from $18.92! \| SVS
4	Possession: Cognitive Sources, Forces, and Grammaticalization more books like this by Bernd Heine, S R Anderson (Editor), J Bresnan (Editor) add to wishlist In this new work, Bernd Heine claims that the structure of grammatical categories is predictable to a large extent once we know the range of possible cognitive structures from which they are derived.

6	The Changing Languages of Europe more books like this by Bernd Heine, Tania Kuteva add to wishlist The languages and dialects of Europe, this book shows, are becoming increasingly alike. Furthermore this unifying process goes at least as far back as the Roman empire, is accelerating, and affects every one of Europe's 150 or so languages including those of different families such as Basque and Finnish.

7	The Genesis of Grammar: A Reconstruction more books like this by Bernd Heine, Tania Kuteva add to wishlist "This book reconstructs what the earliest grammars might have been and shows how they could have led to the languages of modern humankind.

As the languages spoken 8,000 years ago were ... see all copies from $43.21! new only from $43.21! \| SVS
8	A Linguistic Geography of Africa more books like this by Bernd Heine (Editor), Derek Nurse (Editor) add to wishlist More than forty years ago it was demonstrated that the African continent can be divided into four distinct language families.

This has meant that an interest in other kinds of linguistic relationship, such as ... see all copies from $77.32! new only from $77.32!
9	Auxiliaries: Cognitive Forces and Grammaticalization more books like this by Bernd Heine add to wishlist Offering a new perspective on auxiliaries in particular and language structure in general, this study argues that language cannot be explained satisfactorily with reference to linguistic variables alone; what is required in addition are extra-linguistic parameters relating to how we perceive the world around us, and how we utilize the linguistic ... see all copies from $110.80! new only from $110.80! \| SVS
