dc.description.abstractAbstract. The primary purpose of this paper is to introduce some definitions of grammaticalization proposed by different linguists. It is conceived of as a process and most frequently, it has been claimed to form essentially a diachronic process whereby it leads from a lexical to a grammatical unit or from a less grammatical unit to a more grammatical unit. The motivations, mechanisms as well as diagnostic traits of grammaticalization have been clarified in this paper. The grammaticalization process of Chinese aspect markers and English demonstrative pronoun THAT and English modal verb CAN is exemplified to further illustrate how pragmatic and cognitive factors motivate the language change. The present paper is supposed to help language learners have a better understanding about the meaning and function change of words. The whole paper consists of four chapters. In the first chapter, several definitions are listed diachronically and differences between them are stated. Motivations are also mentioned to specify why grammaticalization happens. In the second chapter, both internal and external mechanisms are discussed. In the third and the fourth chapters, language change phenomena in Chinese and English are explained.
