qroqqa commented on the word grammaticalizationist
It's good, isn't it? It's so rare that Google doesn't know it's a noun, so doesn't also offer up hits for grammaticalizationists. There are more of them and they illustrate its meaning a bit better. Do I detect some suppressed hostility in many of the uses?
For solid information, research grammaticalization—an increasingly prominent topic in recent linguistics.
