Primes

• Emergent Formalization (Language)
  • The cline is supported cross-linguistically (Heine-Kuteva 2002 document ~300 pathways), but Haspelmath (2004) challenges strict unidirectionality, citing counterexamples (de-grammaticalization, lateral movement).

    This sourceExamines alleged de-grammaticalization counterexamples to strict unidirectionality (accepting only a few) — supports the 'Haspelmath challenges strict unidirectionality, citing counterexamples' claim.

Domain-specific

• Unidirectionality Hypothesis
  • The mapped changes include semantic bleaching, decategorialization, increased bondedness, reduced syntagmatic freedom, and paradigmatic integration.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
