The articles in this volume examine a number of critical issues in grammaticalization studies, including the relationship between grammaticalization and pragmaticalization, subjectification and intersubjectification, and grammaticalization and language contact. The contributions consider data from a broad range of spoken and signed languages, including Greek, Japanese, Nigerian Pidgin, Swedish, and Turkish Sign Language. The authors work in a variety of theoretical frameworks, and draw on a number of research traditions. The volume will be of primary interest to historical linguists, though the diversity of approaches and sources of data mean that the volume is also likely have considerable general appeal.

All sign languages investigated to date make use of a side-to-side headshake in the context of negation. 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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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). I will show that take functions as a main verb, as an instrumental serial verb and as an incipient modal verb. While the presence of serial verb constructions (SVCs) can be attributed to a calque from the Kwa/Benue-Congo substrates, I will make an argument for an internal and gradual path of grammaticalisation from serial to modal take, due to the re-bracketing of the collocation take+V2 as a non-serial VP. I will support my claims with an analysis of take’s occurrences in a corpus of NigP collected in Lagos in 2007.

By arguing that grammaticalisation inevitably involves paradigmatisation, i.e. formation of new paradigms or reformation of existing paradigms, we challenge leading approaches to grammaticalisation that consider the stages on the so-called cline of grammaticality the prototypical path of grammaticalisation. After having questioned the notions of scalarity and gradualness, we present our concept of the grammatical paradigm and demonstrate the value of this concept in a discussion of examples from Polish, Russian, Danish, Italian and Finnish. The examples show that paradigmatic organisation is not restricted to morphology, but is also characteristic of word order and constructional syntax. Articles by prominent contributors to The Oxford Handbook of Grammaticalization (2011) are discussed during the presentation.

The articles in this volume examine a number of critical issues in grammaticalization studies, including the relationship between grammaticalization and pragmaticalization, subjectification and intersubjectification, and grammaticalization and language contact. The contributions consider data from a broad range of spoken and signed languages, including Greek, Japanese, Nigerian Pidgin, Swedish, and Turkish Sign Language. The authors work in a variety of theoretical frameworks, and draw on a number of research traditions. The volume will be of primary interest to historical linguists, though the diversity of approaches and sources of data mean that the volume is also likely have considerable general appeal.

All sign languages investigated to date make use of a side-to-side headshake in the context of negation. 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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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). I will show that take functions as a main verb, as an instrumental serial verb and as an incipient modal verb. While the presence of serial verb constructions (SVCs) can be attributed to a calque from the Kwa/Benue-Congo substrates, I will make an argument for an internal and gradual path of grammaticalisation from serial to modal take, due to the re-bracketing of the collocation take+V2 as a non-serial VP. I will support my claims with an analysis of take’s occurrences in a corpus of NigP collected in Lagos in 2007.

By arguing that grammaticalisation inevitably involves paradigmatisation, i.e. formation of new paradigms or reformation of existing paradigms, we challenge leading approaches to grammaticalisation that consider the stages on the so-called cline of grammaticality the prototypical path of grammaticalisation. After having questioned the notions of scalarity and gradualness, we present our concept of the grammatical paradigm and demonstrate the value of this concept in a discussion of examples from Polish, Russian, Danish, Italian and Finnish. The examples show that paradigmatic organisation is not restricted to morphology, but is also characteristic of word order and constructional syntax. Articles by prominent contributors to The Oxford Handbook of Grammaticalization (2011) are discussed during the presentation.
