Grammaticalization or pragmaticalization of discourse markers? More than a terminological issue (2012, background): “Note that proponents of the first view might also mention core domains and peripheral domains of grammar (see Heine et al. 1991; Hopper and Traugott 2003 [1993]; Himmelmann 2004).”
Harm inflation: Making sense of concept creep (2020, background): “Semantic bleaching can, therefore, be seen as a shift or change in the distribution of meaning rather than a simple loss (Hopper & Traugott, 1993).”
Linguistic generalization and compositionality in modern artificial neural networks (2019, background): “…obey less systematic, fuzzier laws, ranging from phonologically driven generalizations of irregular inflections [70], to partial semantic transparency in derivational morphology [71], to semi-lexicalized constraints in syntax [72], to the early stages of grammaticalization in language change [73].”
Consequences of the Now-or-Never bottleneck for signed versus spoken languages (2015, background): “…constant pressure toward reduction and erosion across the different levels of linguistic representation, providing a possible explanation for why grammaticalization tends to be a largely unidirectional process (e.g., Bybee et al. 1994; Haspelmath 1999; Heine & Kuteva 2002; Hopper & Traugott 1993).”
A Computational Evaluation of Two Laws of Semantic Change (2015, background): “…laws that characterize the nature of these changes, and the literature contains laws of sound change (Labov, 2010), grammatical or syntactic change (Hopper & Traugott, 2003; Lieberman, Michel, Jackson, Tang, & Nowak, 2007), and semantic change (Bréal, 1897; Sweetser, 1991; Traugott & Dasher, 2002).”
A Usage‐Based Account of Constituency and Reanalysis (2009, background): “…factor in reducing analyzability is semantic change, which, of course, interacts with frequency of use; the semantic change weakens the association of the noun spite with its lexical counterparts, leading to a loss of analyzability and also categoriality (Hopper, 1991; Hopper & Traugott, 2003).”
