Thus, a language may in principle belong to, different linguistic areas, and different lin-, guistic areas may coexist “on top of” each, situations are, but nothing in the logic of a, exhaustively divisible into non-overlapping, areas within Europe have been proposed in.

This study presents an empirical approach to the distribution of interrogative pronouns as relative clause markers in time and space in the Indo-European language family. It is hoped that this second volume will independently be published in the near future.

Thus, their emergence could be the result of the 'natural' evolution described above -just another layer of complexity to remedy the limitations of closed-class paradigms -or it could be linked to socio-cultural changes which took place at some point between the Renaissance and Modern Times.

An analysis by branch suggests that this constitutes a case of parallel innovations subsequently spreading via language contact.

By way of checking the Companion Metaphor on the basis of a large cross-linguistic sample, a number of revisions are put forward as to the validity of the supposedly universal preference for comitative-instrumental syncretism. From Heine’, possessive constructions, not much support, can be drawn for such a claim. In addition, the hypothesis is put forward that the syncretistic behaviour of comitatives and instrumentals cannot be explained in terms of propositional concepts. sifiers and reflexives: a typological perspective.” In: in language, 40.).
