Changes in mean­ing and func­tion: Stud­ies in his­tor­i­cal lin­guis­tics with a focus on Span­ish
Diachron­ic lin­guis­tics has been expe­ri­enc­ing a strong revival dur­ing the last few decades, since an increas­ing num­ber of researchers have assumed that evo­lu­tion­ary and his­tor­i­cal fac­tors must be con­sid­ered to prop­er­ly under­stand how nat­ur­al lan­guages work. This book offers new data and insights on some of the research lines which are cur­rent­ly being devel­oped with­in the frame­work of diachron­ic lan­guage research. The papers brought togeth­er in this vol­ume are char­ac­ter­ized both by their orig­i­nal­i­ty and by their method­olog­i­cal diver­si­ty; the read­er will thus find here­in the­o­ret­i­cal as well as empir­i­cal works, under­tak­en from var­i­ous per­spec­tives of analy­sis (diachron­ic cog­ni­tive seman­tics, gram­mat­i­cal­iza­tion the­o­ry, dis­cur­sive tra­di­tions, his­tor­i­cal phrase­ol­o­gy, etc.). The final out­come is an eclec­tic vol­ume which offers valu­able infor­ma­tion for every read­er, regard­less of whether they are expe­ri­enced lin­guists or junior researchers will­ing to know the lat­est epis­te­mo­log­i­cal advances in this dis­ci­pline.

Build­ing the canon through the Clas­sics: imi­ta­tion and vari­a­tion in Renais­sance Italy (1350–1580)
Build­ing the Canon through the Clas­sics. Imi­ta­tion and Vari­a­tion in Renais­sance Italy (1350–1580) pro­vides a com­pre­hen­sive reap­praisal of the con­struc­tion of a lit­er­ary canon in Renais­sance Italy by explor­ing the mul­ti­ple reuses of clas­si­cal author­i­ties. The vol­ume reshapes cur­rent debate on the notion of canon by inter­twin­ing two per­spec­tives: ana­lyz­ing when and in what form a canon emerged, and deter­min­ing the ways in which an ancient lit­er­ary canon inter­acts with the urge to bestow a sim­i­lar author­i­ty on some lat­er and con­tem­po­ra­ne­ous authors. Each chap­ter makes an orig­i­nal con­tri­bu­tion to its select­ed top­ic, but the col­lec­tive strength of the vol­ume relies on its simul­ta­ne­ous appeal to read­ers in Ital­ian Stud­ies, intel­lec­tu­al his­to­ry, com­par­a­tive stud­ies and clas­si­cal recep­tion stud­ies.
