Description

ABSTRACT In the article, we attempt to explore Schlauch's understanding of synchrony and diachrony as seen in the context of her views on language non-autonomy as well as to relate the findings to the ongoing discussion within functional linguistics on the synchronic vis-a-vis diachronic dimensions of "subjectivity in grammaticalization". As both tenets, the one of (i) a blurred distinction between synchrony and diachrony and that of (ii) a subjectively-motivated language change seem to belong to a set of the most eagerly attempted tasks within the program of functional linguistics, we aim to show why and how functionally-oriented research can benefit from Schlauch. On our account, Schlauch not only projects a kind of non-autonomous linguistics that resembles and anticipates what has come to be known now as cognitive linguistics, but she also grasps what has recently polarised functionalists in reference to one of the most hotly debated topics in historical and general linguistics, i.e. grammaticalization. The latter point we show by making a brief exposition of Langacker's view of subjectivity.
