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.
