| Research Abstract |
One of the main findings of this research is that, on the basis of examples collected from various historical linguistic corpora, there are some distinctive kinds of historical development in the directional adverbs in English, such as grammaticalization and retraction, and they can be explained interms of the Usage-Based Model approaches to grammar. One of the major consequences of this analysis is that the Usage-Based Model can be used to explain wide varieties of language change, as well as grammaticalization phenomena.
