The Emergence of Functions in Language
Frajzyngier, Zygmunt (Professor of Linguistics, Professor of Linguistics, University of Colorado Boulder)

It offers a new methodology to explore the differences and the motivations behind the emergence of meanings, based on data from a wide range of languages, including English, French, Polish, Chadic languages, and Sino-Russian idiolects.
