Abstract

While language has been described in many previous linguistic theories as a static, self-contained system, it is viewed as a dynamic, open-ended phenomenon in recent studies on grammaticalization. In the present paper it is argued that both the genesis and the development of grammatical categories are the result of a general cognitive process that is creative in nature.
