520 The issue of permanence and change of word-order patterns
has long been debated in both historical linguistics and
structural theories. The interest in this theme has been
revamped by contemporary research in typology with its
emphasis on correlation or 'harmonies' of structures of
word-order as explicative principles of both synchronic
and diachronic processes. The aim of this book is to
stimulate a critical reconsideration of perspectives and
methods in the study of continuities and discontinuities
of word-order patterns. Bringing together contributions by
specialists of various theoretical backgrounds and with
expertise in different language families or groups
(Caucasian, Hamito-Semitic, and - among Indo-European -
Hittite, Greek, Celtic, Germanic, Slavonic, Romance), the
book addresses issues like the notions of stability,
variation and change of word-order and their
interrelations, the interplay of syntactic and pragmatic
factors, and the role of internal and external factors in
synchronic and diachronic dynamics of word-order. The book
contains a selection of papers presented at a workshop
held at the XIII International Conference on Historical
Linguistics (Düsseldorf, August 1997) and additonal
invited contributions
