Avertiv und Proximativ: Eine korpusbasierte synchrone und diachrone Untersuchung der romanischen Sprachen

This work undertakes a first-ever corpus-based synchronic and diachronic study of the avertive and proximative in Romance languages while considering both Latin and Ancient Greek. It systematically charts and verifies new pathways of grammaticalization based on corpus linguistics.

This study was awarded the Elise Richter Preis of Deutscher Romanistenverband 2017 and the Prize of the Offermann-Hergarten-Stiftung 2020.
