An interview with Elizabeth Closs Traugott

In this interview, Elizabeth Closs Traugott, the world's leading authority on grammaticalization and the history of English syntax and Stanford University Professor Emerita, speaks candidly about her long and distinguished career as professor, former President of the Linguistic Society of America, former President of the International Society for Historical Linguistics, and Stanford University administrator (Vice Provost). Among the topics covered are: her influence over the past 40 years in (1) linguistics in general and (2) in English linguistics and philology in particular, and her evaluation of the writings of Leonard Bloomfield, Zellig Harris, Dwight Bolinger, and Edward Sapir for the contemporary linguistic scene.
