Correlated grammaticalization
The rise of articles in Indo-European
Grammaticalization is characterized by robust directional asymmetries (e.g.,
Kuteva et al. 2019). For instance, body-part nominals develop into spatial adpositions, minimizers develop into
negation markers and subject pronouns become agreement markers. Changes in the opposite direction are either rare or unattested
(
Garrett 2012: 52). Such robust cross-linguistic asymmetries have led some scholars
to reify grammaticalization trajectories as universal mechanistic forces (
Heath
1998: 729). One consequence of such a view is that the ambient morphosyntax of a language has little or even no relevance
for grammaticalization. This paper uses Bayesian phylogenetic methods to demonstrate the critical role that pre-existing
morphosyntax can play in grammaticalization. The empirical basis for this claim is the grammaticalization of definite and
indefinite articles in the history of Indo-European: indefinite articles developed at a faster rate among languages in which a
definite article had already emerged compared to those lacking a definite article. The two changes are thus correlated. The
results of this case study suggest that there is much more to be learned about when and why grammaticalization occurs by
investigating its relationship to the pre-existing linguistic system (cf.
Reinöhl and
Himmelmann 2017: 381).
