Summary: Affordable... and great !!!
Comment: Ten years of work finally gave birth to this book. A lexicon classifying the different universals governing the process of grammaticalization, throughout 500 languages ! If you're working on grammaticalization, language typology or language universals, this is your book !
The "grammaticalization universals" are classified from Source to Target (e.g. "Leave > Egressive", that is to say the verb "leave" gave an egressive aspect or case or grammatical satellite in many languages). Each time, quotations are given in several languages and the references of the source texts are given.
At the end, an index "Source to Target" and an index "Target to Source" are included.
Also, as you may not know the genetic origin of all of the 500 languages, a final index classifies these languages alphabetically, and gives the subfamily and then the family out of which each language was born.
Readable, affordable, and very useful to improve your lists of examples and confirm your own hypothesis, if you're a linguist.
However, a sequel is expected, for not all of the "already-known" universals are included in this first volume.
