概要：

Grammaticalisation is a potent candidate to structuralise and complexify human
languages in the evolution of language. It is a phenomenon of language
change, in which content words such as nouns and verbs change into functional
words such as auxiliaries and prepositions. New functional categories, tense,
mood, and so forth, can emerge in a language structure through grammaticalisation,
then structure and lexicon of a language can become complex and fruitful.
It is important to understand the process of and the cognitive ability for 
grammaticalisation in the context of the origin and the evolution of language. 
We discuss constructing a computational model for grammaticalisation to achieve this end.
