Motives for language change
"Motives for Language Change," edited by Raymond Hickey, is a comprehensive volume that delves into the processes and factors driving linguistic evolution. Published by Cambridge University Press in 2003, the book assembles an international team of scholars to examine central issues in the field, offering new perspectives and proposals. The content is organized into six sections: the phenomenon of language change, linguistic models, grammaticalisation, the social context, contact-based explanations, and the typological perspective. This structure provides a holistic view of language change, making it relevant for both specialists and a broader international readership
