The development of grammatical functions of \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e is analysed from pragmatic-semantic, morphosyntactic and phonetic angles. Apart from the well-known and formerly studied cases of the rise of perfect and obligative \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e, the author describes the developments of the \u003ci\u003ehad better \u003c\/i\u003estructure as well as causative \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e which have not received much scholarly attention thus far. He shows that the first examples of the fully grammaticalised constructions with \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e generally appear earlier than it is commonly believed. He also offers possible motivations behind the growth of obligative and causative \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e. This book proves that the changes leading to the rise of new grammatical constructions occur in a specific order: pragmatic-semantic changes precede morphosyntactic changes and phonetic reductions are the last to take place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eContents:\u003c\/i\u003e Grammaticalisation theory – Semanticisation of \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e – Some cross-linguistic evidence from Polish – The rise of the \u003ci\u003ehad better\u003c\/i\u003e structure – The grammaticalisation of obligative modal \u003ci\u003ehave to\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e(have) got to\u003c\/i\u003e – The auxiliation of \u003ci\u003ehave\u003c\/i\u003e in perfect construction – Along the possession-to-causation cline.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044207034711,"sku":"9783631600276","price":61.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631600276.jpg?v=1750960864","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/grammaticalisation-paths-of-have-in-english-9783631600276","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
