By extension, it is also held that an individual’s constructional inventory of abstract grammatical form-meaning pairings can be updated continually (Bergs 2012: 1637). Yet, while there are ample examples of constructional change across the lifespan of individuals, it has still proven difficult to find instances of categorical, ‘core’ grammatical change, where adults change from “one invariable and uniform grammatical system to another” (Meisel et al. 2017: 30; cf. Raumolin-Brunberg 2005: 47). This study investigates “how much innovation and change is possible across the lifespan in the domain of syntax” (Petré & Anthonissen 2019). More specifically, this study tests the following hypotheses: H1 : The rate by which individuals use functionally equivalent (or ‘competing’) constructions across their lifespan can change. H2 : The extent to which and ...
