Walter Bisang is Professor of General and Comparative Linguistics at the University of Mainz. He works on grammaticalization, linguistic contact and linguistic complexity. The combination of this research together with his findings on East and mainland Southeast Asian languages led him to the claim that grammaticalization is subject to cross-linguistic variation in terms of its properties as well as in terms of at least some pathways. His papers cover a wide range of phenomena, among them classifiers and classification, serial verb constructions, clause combining, finiteness, parts of speech, radical pro-drop and morphological paradigms. Some of his more recent ideas on grammaticalization are addressed in Problems with primary vs. secondary grammaticalization -- the case of East and mainland Southeast Asian languages (Language Sciences 47, 2015). A survey of his ideas on complexity is found in Hidden complexity-the neglected side of complexity and its consequences. Linguistics Vanguard 1.1, 2015).
