520 This article opens with a brief discussion of the
fundamental issues of usage, structure, grammaticalization
and reanalysis and then introduces the key concept of an
empty distinction, which is defined as a conventionalized
distinction of expression that has lost its former
motivation (semantic or non-semantic, in particular
phonological) as the result of a change. Three change
scenarios involving a stage with an empty distinction are
considered. The first case study is concerned with the
reinterpretation of Old High German umlauted vs. non-
umlauted vowel as a marker of number, thus exemplifying an
empty distinction originating in a change of the sound
system. The second case study considers the complicated
development of the inflectional morphemes for the
nominative plural of Polish masculine nouns, and it is
shown that this change scenario involves a stage with an
empty distinction originating in a degrammation. Finally,
the third case study discusses the alternation between the
accusative and the genitive in the A2 (argument 2) slot in
the history of Russian and suggests an analysis involving
an empty distinction resulting from domain narrowing of
another distinction. In the conclusion the results of the
analyses are interpreted in terms of a speakers' strategy
