Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Linguistics
  • Semantics
  • Grammar

Elizabeth Closs Traugott spends much of her time researching Linguistics, Grammaticalization, History of English, Syntax and Subjectification. Her study in Discourse marker and English studies is done as part of Linguistics. Her research integrates issues of Historical pragmatics, Semantic change and Modal verb in her study of Discourse marker.

Elizabeth Closs Traugott has researched Grammaticalization in several fields, including Semantics, Pragmatics, Variety and Syntactic change. Her History of English research integrates issues from Lexicalization, Lexicon, Language change, Lexicology and Historical linguistics. Her Subjectification research includes elements of Inter subjectivity, Verb, Epistemology, Analogy and Adverbial.

Her most cited work include:

  • Regularity in Semantic Change (803 citations)
  • Lexicalization and Language Change (329 citations)
  • (Inter)subjectivity and (inter)subjectification: A reassessment (260 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Linguistics, Grammaticalization, Semantic change, Subjectification and Lexicalization. Her research combines Cognitive science and Linguistics. Elizabeth Closs Traugott works mostly in the field of Grammaticalization, limiting it down to topics relating to Lexical item and, in certain cases, Generative grammar.

Her studies deal with areas such as Polysemy and Deixis as well as Semantic change. Her Subjectification study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Sentence. Elizabeth Closs Traugott combines subjects such as Clitic, Language change, Univerbation and Lexicon with her study of Lexicalization.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Linguistics (76.60%)
  • Grammaticalization (28.37%)
  • Semantic change (12.77%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Linguistics (76.60%)
  • Construction grammar (4.96%)
  • Grammaticalization (28.37%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Elizabeth Closs Traugott mostly deals with Linguistics, Construction grammar, Grammaticalization, Discourse marker and Meaning. Her Linguistics study frequently links to related topics such as Set. Elizabeth Closs Traugott interconnects Demonstrative, Correlative, Syntax and Copula in the investigation of issues within Grammaticalization.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Context and Humanities in addition to Discourse marker. Her work deals with themes such as Structuring, Historical pragmatics and Turn-taking, which intersect with Meaning. Her Semantics research incorporates themes from Natural language processing, Lexicon and Lexicology.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • On the rise of types of clause-final pragmatic markers in English (40 citations)
  • ‘Insubordination’ in the light of the Uniformitarian Principle (7 citations)
  • Constructional networks and the development of benefactive ditransitives in English (5 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Linguistics
  • Grammar
  • Semantics

Her primary areas of investigation include Linguistics, History of English, Contrast, Iterative and incremental development and Copula. Her studies in Linguistics integrate themes in fields like Period and Perception. Her work carried out in the field of History of English brings together such families of science as Uniformitarianism, Adverbial, On Language and Insubordination.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Demonstrative, Grammaticalization and Construction grammar.
