Muriel Norde erforscht den Sprachwandel, insbesondere im Bereich der Morphologie und der Konstruktionsgrammatik. Ihre Arbeit konzentriert sich auf historische linguistische Phänomene in germanischen Sprachen, wobei sie Korpusdaten zur Analyse von Kreativität, Approximation und pejorativen Konstruktionen nutzt. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt auf Sprachkontakt und Mehrsprachigkeit, vor allem im Kontext von Niederdeutsch und Skandinavien im Mittelalter. Sie verbindet theoretische Ansätze der kognitiven Linguistik mit empirischen Studien zur Diachronie und zur Entstehung sprachlicher Register.

This is a book about degrammaticalization, a rare type of linguistic change whereby grams become ‘less grammatical’, typical examples being shifts from affix to clitic, or from function word to lexical item. It discusses the alleged unidirectionality of semantic and morphosyntactic change, showing that change is in fact reversible on all levels. It also aims to classify degrammaticalization by examining primitive changes on several levels: semantics, pragmatics, morphology, syntax, and phonology. It is argued that there exist three separate types of degrammaticalization: degrammation, whereby a function word develops into a lexical item; deinflectionalization, whereby an inflectional affix becomes either derivational or enclitic, while gaining additional functions; and debonding, whereby a bound morpheme becomes a free morpheme, often without change on the semantic-functional level.

The term ‘degrammaticalization’, originally coined by Lehmann in 1982 for a supposedly non-existent phenomenon, soon came to be applied to a number of often entirely different changes. Since such ‘counterexamples’ pose a potential challenge to the unidirectionality of grammaticalization, they have been the focus of much attention from grammaticalizationists and grammaticalization critics alike. While the former have attempted to dismiss them as insignificant, the latter have tended to over-emphasize their relevance. Much of the debate on degrammaticalization is rooted in different understandings of what degrammaticalization entails, or what it should entail. This paper proposes a descriptive framework which will restrict the number of potential examples of degrammaticalization, while at the same time subdividing them into three clearly distinguishable subtypes.
