Bøker av Bernd (Professor and Director Heine

This is a comprehensive study of the linguistic concept of `auxilliaries' which offers a new perspective on them as well as on language structure in general; it also provides an introduction to recent work in grammaticalization theory.

Heine provides an introductory treatment of the ways in which language structure (grammar) and language use can be explained with reference to the processes underlying human conceptualization and communication.
