本书综合介绍了语法化这一概念。在语法化过程中，词汇术语和结构出现的某种语言语境中具有语法功能，而一旦其本身发生语法化，就会继续发展出新的语法功能。因此，名词和动词会随着时间变化而充当不同的语法成分，如格的标志、句子的连接词以及助词。作者在本书中涉及了包括历史语言学、话语分析和语用学在内的多个语言领域，数据取自多种语言，包括埃维语、芬兰语、法语、印地语、赫梯语、日语、马来语和英语，其中尤以英语为主。 本书为第二版，根据十年间出现的最新理论和方法问题对第一版进行了彻底的修订，并且增加了详细的参考书目。本书还着重探讨了当今学术界对语言混合过程中语法化的变化的方向以及语法化的作用等问题的不同见解。 对所有关注语法开式发展的语言学家来说，《语法化》一书都是一本极有价值，引人深思的教材。本书语言、结构和用法之引互相作用的深刻见解也会引起有志于人类学和心理学研究读者的兴趣。

“本书简洁明了地介绍了语法理论的基本概念，专有名词和已经取得的学术成就。与以前的同类著作相比，本书将语法化理论与当前语言学其他可以选用的模式联系起来，比以前的著术更加详尽地总结了语法化研究的现状，描述了一种新的学术话语的前景，为学生提供了一本非常及时有用的参考书。” ——伯南德·海因博士，科隆大学教授
