This headshake, however, is qualitatively different from the co-speech gesture used by speakers in similar contexts. Following a discussion of the origin and use of gestural headshakes, we show that across sign languages, the distribution of headshakes – in particular, their scope and co-occurrence with manual negative elements – is subject to language-specific constraints, which are clearly linguistic in nature. We thus argue that the headshake, as used in sign languages, is a linguistic element which has grammaticalized from a gestural input. We further discuss different types of sign language negation systems from a typological perspective, and we provide some speculations on their evolution in terms of Jespersen’s Cycle. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.03raw 06 10.1075/slcs.166.03raw 51 66 16 Article 4 01 04 The Swedish connective sa att `so that' The Swedish connective så att ‘so that’ 01 04 From subordinator to discourse marker From subordinator to discourse marker 1 A01 01 JB code 649234383 Gudrun Rawoens Rawoens, Gudrun Gudrun Rawoens Ghent University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/649234383 01 eng 30 00 This study accounts for the synchronic profile and the recent history of the Swedish sentence connective så att ‘so that’. In Modern Swedish, this connective allows for a variety of syntactic and semantic patterns that entail particular pragmatic functions. One aim of this study is to find evidence for the claim that there is a syntactic shift away from subordinator to coordinator (as has been noticed in conversational data by Lindström & Londen 2008). Even though så att ‘so that’ is traditionally described as hypotactic (SAG II: 733), it can indeed be found in more recent formations reflecting paratactic relations. A second aim relates to the semantics and pragmatics of så att and is to find support for the fact that the multi-word connective is developing from a connector to a discourse marker. In certain contexts, e.g. when occurring in sentence final positions, så att is used with a highly salient discourse function. Starting from empirical data combining written (newspaper texts) and so-called ‘semi-written/spoken’ (blog texts) corpus data, it is shown that the multi-word conjunction så att has become more of a non-compositional form and that the more recent developments witnessing of shifts in syntactic behaviour are accompanied by semantic and pragmatic shifts as well, to wit the shift from subjunction > conjunction > pragmatic marker. The study is conducted within the framework of pragmaticalization (e.g. Diewald 2011). 01 01 JB code slcs.166.04bei 06 10.1075/slcs.166.04bei 67 92 26 Article 5 01 04 The lexicalization-grammaticalization-pragmaticalization interface The lexicalization-grammaticalization-pragmaticalization interface 01 04 The case of Mainland Scandinavian jeg tror The case of Mainland Scandinavian jeg tror 1 A01 01 JB code 44234384 Karin Beijering Beijering, Karin Karin Beijering University of Antwerp 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/44234384 01 eng 30 00 This paper reports on a corpus investigation of Mainland Scandinavian expressions meaning ‘I think’ and the lexicalization-grammaticalization-pragmaticalization interface. The discourse marker I think has been subsumed under lexicalization, grammaticalization and pragmaticalization. It can be conceived of as a formulaic token which is an argument in favor of lexicalization. It also has some prototypical properties of grammaticalization, but especially its optional character and syntactic freedom pose serious problems for a grammaticalization analysis. An account in terms of pragmaticalization is controversial because pragmaticalization is not a generally accepted type of language change in grammaticalization studies. I will argue that precisely the ‘problematic’ properties of I think provide good reasons to postulate a separate process of pragmaticalization for the rise of discourse markers. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.05lop 06 10.1075/slcs.166.05lop 93 120 28 Article 6 01 04 Epistemic/evidential markers of the type verb + complementizer Epistemic/evidential markers of the type verb + complementizer 01 04 Some parallels from English and Romance Some parallels from English and Romance 1 A01 01 JB code 329234385 María José López-Couso López-Couso, María José María José López-Couso University of Santiago de Compostela 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/329234385 2 A01 01 JB code 513234386 Belén Méndez-Naya Méndez-Naya, Belén Belén Méndez-Naya University of Santiago de Compostela 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/513234386 01 eng 30 00 English and Romance possess a particularly interesting way of expressing evidentiality and epistemicity, namely markers involving a verb of saying, knowing, or seeming followed by a complementizer (Verb+C), as Spanish dizque, Galician seica, and English looks like. In this chapter we consider the parallels between the English and the Romance formations and describe them as resulting from processes of grammaticalization and (inter)subjectification. We show that in their development these Verb+C epistemic/evidential markers undergo decategorialization, morphosyntactic fixation, and fusion, and acquire new semantico-pragmatic functions, encoding subjective meanings such as evidentiality and epistemic stance. The study of these Verb+C markers contributes to broader theoretical discussions about the predictive power of grammaticalization and about the origin of clausal parentheticals. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.06mor 06 10.1075/slcs.166.06mor 121 134 14 Article 7 01 04 The Neg-Raising Phenomenon as a product of grammaticalization The Neg-Raising Phenomenon as a product of grammaticalization 1 A01 01 JB code 868234387 Tetsuharu Moriya Moriya, Tetsuharu Tetsuharu Moriya Kanazawa University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/868234387 2 A01 01 JB code 94234388 Kaoru Horie Horie, Kaoru Kaoru Horie Nagoya University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/94234388 01 eng 30 00 In this paper, we argue that the Neg-Raising Phenomenon (NRP) is a product of grammaticalization. Support of this argument comes from similarities to epistemic parentheticals which are themselves derived through grammaticalization. Both epistemic parentheticals and NRP have a hedging function of toning down the main clause assertion. Consequently, conditions on the subject and the predicate are also similar. Furthermore, they manifest two main characteristics of grammaticalization: decategorization and phonetic reduction. Looking at NRP this way, we can delimit more precisely the predicates that allow for NRP. Furthermore, it is possible to explain why seemingly synonymous predicates in different languages (e.g. think in English and kangaeru in Japanese) sometimes differ in NRP predicate status. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.07hig 06 10.1075/slcs.166.07hig 135 156 22 Article 8 01 04 Periphery of utterances and (inter)subjectification in Modern Japanese Periphery of utterances and (inter)subjectification in Modern Japanese 01 04 A case study of competing causal conjunctions and connective particles A case study of competing causal conjunctions and connective particles 1 A01 01 JB code 386234389 Yuko Higashiizumi Higashiizumi, Yuko Yuko Higashiizumi Tokyo Gakugei University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/386234389 01 eng 30 00 Comparing data from present-day conversation with that from the conversational parts of journals in late-Modern Japanese, this paper investigates the development of two synonymous causal constructions, namely the kara-clause and the node-clause constructions, in terms of the peripheries of an utterance. It illustrates that in Modern Japanese the two constructions are undergoing a similar developmental path, in that the causal conjunctive particles kara and node have been developing into part of the conjunctions dakara and nanode in the left periphery of a clause and developing final-particle-like functions in the right periphery. When they appear in either periphery of an utterance, they express and elaborate the speaker’s (inter)subjective meanings in interaction. They are also in the process of (inter)subjectification. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.08has 06 10.1075/slcs.166.08has 157 186 30 Article 9 01 04 Left vs. right periphery in grammaticalization Left vs. right periphery in grammaticalization 01 04 The case of anyway The case of anyway 1 A01 01 JB code 720234390 Alexander Haselow Haselow, Alexander Alexander Haselow University of Rostock 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/720234390 01 eng 30 00 Ways of identifying functional differences between elements in the left and the right periphery of an utterance after grammaticalization processes are discussed using data from the history and present-day use of anyway. This element developed from a clause-internal adverbial into a discourse-grammatical marker with a predominantly global connective function in the left periphery of a unit of talk, and a local connective function (linking two adjacent utterances) in the right periphery, where it also exhibits a modifying effect at the illocutionary level. The data support the hypothesis that elements in the left periphery are basically employed for discourse coherence and text organization, whereas those in the right periphery tend to link adjacent utterances, to modify illocutionary force, and to indicate subjective meanings. The results suggest that structural position is an essential aspect in understanding the outcome of a grammaticalization process. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.09cor 06 10.1075/slcs.166.09cor 187 208 22 Article 10 01 04 The diachrony of subjective amenazar `threaten' The diachrony of subjective amenazar ‘threaten’ 01 04 On Latin-induced grammaticalization in Spanish On Latin-induced grammaticalization in Spanish 1 A01 01 JB code 107234391 Bert Cornillie Cornillie, Bert Bert Cornillie KU Leuven 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/107234391 2 A01 01 JB code 847234550 Álvaro S.

Octavio de Toledo y Huerta Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/847234550 01 eng 30 00 In the functional-linguistic literature, amenazar and other ‘threaten’ verbs have been accounted for in terms of grammaticalization and subjectification of the lexical construction/reading of amenazar + infinitive into a subjective construction/reading of amenazar + infinitive. On the basis of diachronic corpus data we show that this view does not hold: the syntactic schema of subjective amenazar + infinitive starts from a construction of the Latin verb minari ‘threaten’ with a deverbal noun. The origin of the subjective construction with amenazar and the pace of the extension of the new construction depend heavily on the contact with humanist, Latin-based discourse traditions. The proposed analysis suggests the need of revisiting earlier accounts of ‘threaten’ verbs that were based on conceptual and pragmatic criteria only. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.10mar 06 10.1075/slcs.166.10mar 209 230 22 Article 11 01 04 Contact-induced grammaticalization in older texts Contact-induced grammaticalization in older texts 01 04 The Medieval Greek analytic comparatives The Medieval Greek analytic comparatives 1 A01 01 JB code 415234392 Theodore Markopoulos Markopoulos, Theodore Theodore Markopoulos University of Patras 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/415234392 01 eng 30 00 This paper argues that the emergence of the Greek analytic adjectival comparatives should be considered an instance of contact-induced grammaticalization that took place in the Late Middle Ages (between 14th–16th c. approximately) and involved Greek-Romance (Italian and/or French) bilingualism. Through a detailed investigation into the written record, it illustrates the importance of ‘extra-linguistic’ information for the establishment of a language contact account for instances of grammaticalization, especially in cases of bilingualism involving closely related languages. Finally, it discusses theoretical implications for the study of grammatical replication in general, and how it correlates with contact linguistics and sociolinguistic studies in particular. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.11maz 06 10.1075/slcs.166.11maz 231 260 30 Article 12 01 04 Complexity in gradience Complexity in gradience 01 04 The serial verb take in Nigerian Pidgin The serial verb take in Nigerian Pidgin 1 A01 01 JB code 765234393 Maria Mazzoli Mazzoli, Maria Maria Mazzoli University of Bologna 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/765234393 01 eng 30 00 In this paper I will demonstrate how a series of micro changes are related within the synchronic gradience of the item take in Western metropolitan varieties of Nigerian Pidgin (NigP).

This headshake, however, is qualitatively different from the co-speech gesture used by speakers in similar contexts. Following a discussion of the origin and use of gestural headshakes, we show that across sign languages, the distribution of headshakes – in particular, their scope and co-occurrence with manual negative elements – is subject to language-specific constraints, which are clearly linguistic in nature. We thus argue that the headshake, as used in sign languages, is a linguistic element which has grammaticalized from a gestural input. We further discuss different types of sign language negation systems from a typological perspective, and we provide some speculations on their evolution in terms of Jespersen’s Cycle. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.03raw 06 10.1075/slcs.166.03raw 51 66 16 Article 4 01 04 The Swedish connective sa att `so that' The Swedish connective så att ‘so that’ 01 04 From subordinator to discourse marker From subordinator to discourse marker 1 A01 01 JB code 649234383 Gudrun Rawoens Rawoens, Gudrun Gudrun Rawoens Ghent University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/649234383 01 eng 30 00 This study accounts for the synchronic profile and the recent history of the Swedish sentence connective så att ‘so that’. In Modern Swedish, this connective allows for a variety of syntactic and semantic patterns that entail particular pragmatic functions. One aim of this study is to find evidence for the claim that there is a syntactic shift away from subordinator to coordinator (as has been noticed in conversational data by Lindström & Londen 2008). Even though så att ‘so that’ is traditionally described as hypotactic (SAG II: 733), it can indeed be found in more recent formations reflecting paratactic relations. A second aim relates to the semantics and pragmatics of så att and is to find support for the fact that the multi-word connective is developing from a connector to a discourse marker. In certain contexts, e.g. when occurring in sentence final positions, så att is used with a highly salient discourse function. Starting from empirical data combining written (newspaper texts) and so-called ‘semi-written/spoken’ (blog texts) corpus data, it is shown that the multi-word conjunction så att has become more of a non-compositional form and that the more recent developments witnessing of shifts in syntactic behaviour are accompanied by semantic and pragmatic shifts as well, to wit the shift from subjunction > conjunction > pragmatic marker. The study is conducted within the framework of pragmaticalization (e.g. Diewald 2011). 01 01 JB code slcs.166.04bei 06 10.1075/slcs.166.04bei 67 92 26 Article 5 01 04 The lexicalization-grammaticalization-pragmaticalization interface The lexicalization-grammaticalization-pragmaticalization interface 01 04 The case of Mainland Scandinavian jeg tror The case of Mainland Scandinavian jeg tror 1 A01 01 JB code 44234384 Karin Beijering Beijering, Karin Karin Beijering University of Antwerp 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/44234384 01 eng 30 00 This paper reports on a corpus investigation of Mainland Scandinavian expressions meaning ‘I think’ and the lexicalization-grammaticalization-pragmaticalization interface. The discourse marker I think has been subsumed under lexicalization, grammaticalization and pragmaticalization. It can be conceived of as a formulaic token which is an argument in favor of lexicalization. It also has some prototypical properties of grammaticalization, but especially its optional character and syntactic freedom pose serious problems for a grammaticalization analysis. An account in terms of pragmaticalization is controversial because pragmaticalization is not a generally accepted type of language change in grammaticalization studies. I will argue that precisely the ‘problematic’ properties of I think provide good reasons to postulate a separate process of pragmaticalization for the rise of discourse markers. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.05lop 06 10.1075/slcs.166.05lop 93 120 28 Article 6 01 04 Epistemic/evidential markers of the type verb + complementizer Epistemic/evidential markers of the type verb + complementizer 01 04 Some parallels from English and Romance Some parallels from English and Romance 1 A01 01 JB code 329234385 María José López-Couso López-Couso, María José María José López-Couso University of Santiago de Compostela 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/329234385 2 A01 01 JB code 513234386 Belén Méndez-Naya Méndez-Naya, Belén Belén Méndez-Naya University of Santiago de Compostela 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/513234386 01 eng 30 00 English and Romance possess a particularly interesting way of expressing evidentiality and epistemicity, namely markers involving a verb of saying, knowing, or seeming followed by a complementizer (Verb+C), as Spanish dizque, Galician seica, and English looks like. In this chapter we consider the parallels between the English and the Romance formations and describe them as resulting from processes of grammaticalization and (inter)subjectification. We show that in their development these Verb+C epistemic/evidential markers undergo decategorialization, morphosyntactic fixation, and fusion, and acquire new semantico-pragmatic functions, encoding subjective meanings such as evidentiality and epistemic stance. The study of these Verb+C markers contributes to broader theoretical discussions about the predictive power of grammaticalization and about the origin of clausal parentheticals. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.06mor 06 10.1075/slcs.166.06mor 121 134 14 Article 7 01 04 The Neg-Raising Phenomenon as a product of grammaticalization The Neg-Raising Phenomenon as a product of grammaticalization 1 A01 01 JB code 868234387 Tetsuharu Moriya Moriya, Tetsuharu Tetsuharu Moriya Kanazawa University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/868234387 2 A01 01 JB code 94234388 Kaoru Horie Horie, Kaoru Kaoru Horie Nagoya University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/94234388 01 eng 30 00 In this paper, we argue that the Neg-Raising Phenomenon (NRP) is a product of grammaticalization. Support of this argument comes from similarities to epistemic parentheticals which are themselves derived through grammaticalization. Both epistemic parentheticals and NRP have a hedging function of toning down the main clause assertion. Consequently, conditions on the subject and the predicate are also similar. Furthermore, they manifest two main characteristics of grammaticalization: decategorization and phonetic reduction. Looking at NRP this way, we can delimit more precisely the predicates that allow for NRP. Furthermore, it is possible to explain why seemingly synonymous predicates in different languages (e.g. think in English and kangaeru in Japanese) sometimes differ in NRP predicate status. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.07hig 06 10.1075/slcs.166.07hig 135 156 22 Article 8 01 04 Periphery of utterances and (inter)subjectification in Modern Japanese Periphery of utterances and (inter)subjectification in Modern Japanese 01 04 A case study of competing causal conjunctions and connective particles A case study of competing causal conjunctions and connective particles 1 A01 01 JB code 386234389 Yuko Higashiizumi Higashiizumi, Yuko Yuko Higashiizumi Tokyo Gakugei University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/386234389 01 eng 30 00 Comparing data from present-day conversation with that from the conversational parts of journals in late-Modern Japanese, this paper investigates the development of two synonymous causal constructions, namely the kara-clause and the node-clause constructions, in terms of the peripheries of an utterance. It illustrates that in Modern Japanese the two constructions are undergoing a similar developmental path, in that the causal conjunctive particles kara and node have been developing into part of the conjunctions dakara and nanode in the left periphery of a clause and developing final-particle-like functions in the right periphery. When they appear in either periphery of an utterance, they express and elaborate the speaker’s (inter)subjective meanings in interaction. They are also in the process of (inter)subjectification. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.08has 06 10.1075/slcs.166.08has 157 186 30 Article 9 01 04 Left vs. right periphery in grammaticalization Left vs. right periphery in grammaticalization 01 04 The case of anyway The case of anyway 1 A01 01 JB code 720234390 Alexander Haselow Haselow, Alexander Alexander Haselow University of Rostock 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/720234390 01 eng 30 00 Ways of identifying functional differences between elements in the left and the right periphery of an utterance after grammaticalization processes are discussed using data from the history and present-day use of anyway. This element developed from a clause-internal adverbial into a discourse-grammatical marker with a predominantly global connective function in the left periphery of a unit of talk, and a local connective function (linking two adjacent utterances) in the right periphery, where it also exhibits a modifying effect at the illocutionary level. The data support the hypothesis that elements in the left periphery are basically employed for discourse coherence and text organization, whereas those in the right periphery tend to link adjacent utterances, to modify illocutionary force, and to indicate subjective meanings. The results suggest that structural position is an essential aspect in understanding the outcome of a grammaticalization process. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.09cor 06 10.1075/slcs.166.09cor 187 208 22 Article 10 01 04 The diachrony of subjective amenazar `threaten' The diachrony of subjective amenazar ‘threaten’ 01 04 On Latin-induced grammaticalization in Spanish On Latin-induced grammaticalization in Spanish 1 A01 01 JB code 107234391 Bert Cornillie Cornillie, Bert Bert Cornillie KU Leuven 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/107234391 2 A01 01 JB code 847234550 Álvaro S.

Octavio de Toledo y Huerta Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/847234550 01 eng 30 00 In the functional-linguistic literature, amenazar and other ‘threaten’ verbs have been accounted for in terms of grammaticalization and subjectification of the lexical construction/reading of amenazar + infinitive into a subjective construction/reading of amenazar + infinitive. On the basis of diachronic corpus data we show that this view does not hold: the syntactic schema of subjective amenazar + infinitive starts from a construction of the Latin verb minari ‘threaten’ with a deverbal noun. The origin of the subjective construction with amenazar and the pace of the extension of the new construction depend heavily on the contact with humanist, Latin-based discourse traditions. The proposed analysis suggests the need of revisiting earlier accounts of ‘threaten’ verbs that were based on conceptual and pragmatic criteria only. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.10mar 06 10.1075/slcs.166.10mar 209 230 22 Article 11 01 04 Contact-induced grammaticalization in older texts Contact-induced grammaticalization in older texts 01 04 The Medieval Greek analytic comparatives The Medieval Greek analytic comparatives 1 A01 01 JB code 415234392 Theodore Markopoulos Markopoulos, Theodore Theodore Markopoulos University of Patras 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/415234392 01 eng 30 00 This paper argues that the emergence of the Greek analytic adjectival comparatives should be considered an instance of contact-induced grammaticalization that took place in the Late Middle Ages (between 14th–16th c. approximately) and involved Greek-Romance (Italian and/or French) bilingualism. Through a detailed investigation into the written record, it illustrates the importance of ‘extra-linguistic’ information for the establishment of a language contact account for instances of grammaticalization, especially in cases of bilingualism involving closely related languages. Finally, it discusses theoretical implications for the study of grammatical replication in general, and how it correlates with contact linguistics and sociolinguistic studies in particular. 01 01 JB code slcs.166.11maz 06 10.1075/slcs.166.11maz 231 260 30 Article 12 01 04 Complexity in gradience Complexity in gradience 01 04 The serial verb take in Nigerian Pidgin The serial verb take in Nigerian Pidgin 1 A01 01 JB code 765234393 Maria Mazzoli Mazzoli, Maria Maria Mazzoli University of Bologna 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/765234393 01 eng 30 00 In this paper I will demonstrate how a series of micro changes are related within the synchronic gradience of the item take in Western metropolitan varieties of Nigerian Pidgin (NigP).
