Diachrony of Verb Morphology - Japanese and the Transeurasian Languages

This book deals with shared verb morphology in Japanese and other languages that have been identified as Transeurasian (traditionally: "Altaic") in previous research. It analyzes shared etymologies and reconstructed grammaticalizations with the goal to provide evidence for the genealogical relatedness of these languages.
