Functive phrases in typological and diachronic perspective

| University of Lyon
This chapter is concerned with a particular semantic type of noun phrases in secondary predicate function, illustrated by as a negotiator in He was sent as a negotiator. It explores the cross-linguistic regularities in the polysemy patterns characteristic of the markers and constructions having the expression of this meaning as one of their possible uses, and discusses the grammaticalization paths in which they are involved.
Keywords: essive, functive, grammaticalization, polysemy, secondary predicate
