This paper will introduce information structure as a third factor that has an important impact on processes of grammaticalization. Nominalized verb forms can be used in the formation of relative clauses and clefting. With these functions, they can become part of focus constructions. At a subsequent stage, they are reanalyzed either as finite forms with tense-aspect functions or as markers of stance. With the integration of the focus function of nominalized verb forms, a considerable part of what is described as insubordination (Evans 2007) can be explained in terms of a grammaticalization process, moving from the use in a focus construction to the reanalysis as a finite form. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.03est 06 10.1075/tsl.113.03est 43 68 26 Article 5 01 04 Exploring finiteness and non-finiteness in Pima Bajo (Uto-Aztecan) Exploring finiteness and non-finiteness in Pima Bajo (Uto-Aztecan) 1 A01 01 JB code 874264243 Zarina Estrada-Fernández Estrada-Fernández, Zarina Zarina Estrada-Fernández Universidad de Sonora 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/874264243 01 eng 03 00 This paper aims to provide a proper characterization of finite and non-finite clauses in Pima Bajo, a Uto-Aztecan language from the Tepiman branch. Our main research questions are, firstly, how to address the topic of finiteness in a language without morphological tense marking? And secondly, what are the relevant features or properties that distinguish finite and non-finite constructions in a language with no obligatory agreement markers? Finiteness and non-finiteness have long been discussed and analyzed in either formal or functional terms, mostly from a Eurocentric perspective. The most traditional notion takes finiteness to be associated with tense-aspect and agreement only, whereas functional approaches, consider finiteness to be a scalar, or gradient, phenomenon not reducible to tense-aspect marking and agreement. This paper analyzes finite and non-finite constructions in Pima Bajo, taking into consideration different morphosyntactic features, among them those that express illocutionary force and those that anchor the event. These features include aspect suffixes, personal pronouns, modals, and scope particles, among others. The analysis of finite and non-finite constructions in Pima Bajo shows that finiteness is a construction and language-particular phenomenon that cannot be reduced to morphological properties of the verb such as person and number agreement or tense marking. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.s2 06 10.1075/tsl.113.s2 Section header 6 01 04 PART II.

Some non-finite dependent clauses have been observed. The predicate is converted to a non-finite form by means of the non-finite marker -ni, without independent specification of tense or aspect. The use of non-finite clauses in clause-chaining, especially chain-medial clauses in narratives, is a phenomenon that appears to be frequent. Its primary function is to maintain event coherence. Reference tracking is almost always possible, but in specific contexts a new reference may be introduced in non-finite chain-medial clauses (participant discontinuity). Temporal continuity is generally attested, although some exceptions have been found with utterance predicates. Non-finite chain-medial clauses seem to display more finiteness features than the other non-finite clauses. In this paper, I describe and discuss in detail the uses of non-finite chain-medial clauses and the position of these non-finite clauses on the continuum of finiteness in Purepecha. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.s3 06 10.1075/tsl.113.s3 Section header 9 01 04 PART III.

The analysis shows that as part of this evolution, the source of grammatical nominalizers is mainly postpositional in Cahita, and that an old agent nominalizer with tempo-aspectual restrictions (suffix -(’)u) has now become a new patient nominalizer. This change clearly demonstrates that the referential function associated with this grammatical nominalization is prior to the noun-modifying function, showing that in Cahita relativization has to be considered as merely one specialized function of nominalization, namely the modifying function of an appositive grammatical nominalization. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.07pal 06 10.1075/tsl.113.07pal 141 170 30 Article 11 01 04 On the tightrope between infinitives and action nouns On the tightrope between infinitives and action nouns 01 04 The case of Otomi nominalizations The case of Otomi nominalizations 1 A01 01 JB code 271264247 Enrique L.

The structures involve intransitive nominalizations depicting a customary activity performed by humans (‘hunting’, ‘sowing’, etc.) as they appear in a complementation frame. I address the question of whether these nominalization structures in Otomi are morphologically non-finite forms or are just nouns. I show how a cognate structure in two close languages can be found in the two opposing ends of a nominalization scale: in Eastern Otomi, the structure is inflectional and should be analyzed as an intransitive infinitive, while its equivalent in Northern Otomi should be seen as an action deverbal noun. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.08moy 06 10.1075/tsl.113.08moy 171 204 34 Article 12 01 04 Referential markers in Oceanic nominalized constructions Referential markers in Oceanic nominalized constructions 1 A01 01 JB code 745264248 Claire Moyse-Faurie Moyse-Faurie, Claire Claire Moyse-Faurie UMR 7107 LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/745264248 01 eng 03 00 Nominalized constructions are a very frequent phenomenon in Oceanic languages, used in nominal, relative, or imperative clauses as arguments, adjuncts, or the prototypical expression of exclamations. I provide evidence that contrary to widespread views, tense, negation, and aspect markers do occur in nominalizations. I then examine restrictions on the occurrence of these markers, as well as of some articles, and try to find historical explanations. Lastly, I show that hierarchical constraints often formulated for nominalization and deverbalization processes do not fully apply to Oceanic languages, since the occurrence of tense and aspect markers is not only attested in lexical nominalizations but is also quite frequent in phrasal and clausal nominalizations, that is, at the syntactic and discourse levels as well. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.09que 06 10.1075/tsl.113.09que 205 242 38 Article 13 01 04 The role of nominalization in theticity The role of nominalization in theticity 01 04 A Sikuani contribution A Sikuani contribution 1 A01 01 JB code 46264249 Francesc Queixalós Queixalós, Francesc Francesc Queixalós CNRS (SeDyL/CELIA) 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/46264249 01 eng 03 00 When speakers need to communicate a piece of information in which they allocate all the components the same degree of informational density – especially the components expressing the state of the world described and the entities associated with it – they rely on linguistic mechanisms that may differ radically from those employed in speech-acts that involve a rhematic element (rather dense informationally) linked to a thematic element (rather thin informationally). In languages where existential predication does not require a verb of existence with the subject as the thematic element, this type of construction is well adapted to the thetic communicative intention, since it is organized around a noun phrase conveying rhematic information that is not connected to any thematic element apart from the world, or the situation. Since this element is not instantiated linguistically, or at least not by expressions capable of referring, the structure of this kind of existential predication is monadic. This is the most striking difference between the formal correlates of thetic constructions and those of the dyadic construction with rheme and theme. The Sikuani language makes a great deal of use of verb nominalization machinery (which provides a way to combine in the most parsimonious way the state of affairs described and the entities associated with it) in order to fulfill the goal of thetic communication. In particular, by playing with these mechanisms this language manages to modulate the degree of semantic reification of the state of the world described by the nominalized verb. Consequently a nominalized form with a thetic function becomes able to express semantic configurations (events, states, etc.) similar to those normally expressed by finite verbs. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.10hei 06 10.1075/tsl.113.10hei 243 268 26 Article 14 01 04 On non-finiteness and canonical imperatives On non-finiteness and canonical imperatives 1 A01 01 JB code 503264250 Bernd Heine Heine, Bernd Bernd Heine University of Cologne 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/503264250 01 eng 03 00 Imperatives exhibit cross-linguistically a wide range of structures, which makes it difficult to generalize about them or to propose a structural definition that would apply to all or at least to most of them. This article is concerned with canonical imperatives, that is, information units that have an (implicit) second person singular subject referent as a hearer (or reader or signee) and express commands or requests directed at the hearer. Canonical imperatives have been called extragrammatical or extrasyntactical forms; they resemble nominalized verb forms in being non-finite. But non-finiteness appears to possess a different quality here from what it has, for example, in participial, infinitival, or other non-finite verb forms or clause types. Building on recent work on Discourse Grammar (Kaltenböck et al. 2011, Heine et al. 2013), the article attempts to account for this difference by looking at the role that imperatives play in structuring discourse. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.s4 06 10.1075/tsl.113.s4 Section header 15 01 04 PART IV.

Givón Givón, T. T. Givón University of Oregon and White Cloud Ranch Ignacio, Colorado 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/888264251 01 eng 03 00 The mechanisms via which subordinate clauses arise are relatively well explored, involving two major diachronic pathways (Givón 2009): first, via clause-chaining constructions, as in many Niger-Congo, Papua-New Guinea, Southeast Asian, Athabaskan, or Southern Arawak languages; and second, via nominalization, as in Turkic, Bodic/Tibetan, Cariban, or Northern Uto-Aztecan languages. In many of the latter, erstwhile nominalized subordinate clauses later undergo re-finitization, and the question then arises: by what diachronic mechanism do nominalized clauses eventually revert to finite structure? I have suggested earlier (Givón 2000) that in Ute (Northern Uto-Aztecan), the mechanism may involve the gradual re-acquisition of finite-features such as tense-aspect, but the details of this proposal were never documented. Three other mechanisms seem to suggest themselves. First, in some Bodic/Tibetan languages (Watters 1998) a new generation of finite subordinate clauses emerges, co-exists with, and slowly supplants the older nominalized clauses. Second, in Cariban, Northern Uto-Aztecan, Indo-European, Bantu and many other languages, subordinate clauses, in particular V-complements, are de-subordinated through tense-aspect genesis and other grammaticalization processes, and their nominalized structure then becomes the new finite mainclause standard (Evans 2007, Gildea, 1998, Givón 1971). Finally, in some Northern Uto-Aztecan languages (Guarijio, Tarahumara), the re-finitization mechanism seem to involve a slow elimination of nominalized features, such as e.g. genitive subjects, or re-interpretation of their function. This paper lays the background for a more fine-grained investigation of the diachrony of re-finitization. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.12mit 06 10.1075/tsl.113.12mit 297 322 26 Article 17 01 04 Shifting finiteness in nominalization Shifting finiteness in nominalization 01 04 From definitization to refinitization From definitization to refinitization 1 A01 01 JB code 145264252 Marianne Mithun Mithun, Marianne Marianne Mithun University of California, Santa Barbara 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/145264252 01 eng 03 00 A significant effect of clause nominalization is the loss of finiteness, of such morphological features as tense, aspect, mood, and valency, and the acquisition of such nominal features as case, gender, number, possession, and determiners. The constructions cease to function syntactically as predications; however, their evolution does not necessarily end with a complete loss of finiteness. They can continue to develop, re-acquiring morphological and/or syntactic properties of finiteness via various pathways. Here some developments of this type are discussed and illustrated with material from Barbareño Chumash, a language indigenous to California. Barbareño contains nominalized clause constructions at various stages of development, from progressive de-finitization to re-finitization, where formerly syntactically dependent clauses now function as independent sentences with special pragmatic relations within discourse. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.13van 06 10.1075/tsl.113.13van 323 344 22 Article 18 01 04 The Manner converb in Beja (Cushitic) and its refinitization The Manner converb in Beja (Cushitic) and its refinitization 1 A01 01 JB code 530264253 Martine Vanhove Vanhove, Martine Martine Vanhove LLACAN (CNRS, INALCO, PRES Sorbonne Paris-Cité) 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/530264253 01 eng 03 00 This paper focuses on the formal properties and uses of nonfinite constructions in Beja (Cushitic) with the Manner converb, and its refinitization as a Perfect paradigm. The analysis is carried out against the background of typological studies on converbs and copredicative constructions. This converb functions at several levels of juncture: predicate in deranked adverbial clauses, in complement and relative clauses for the encoding of inter-clausal relations; adverb and cognate object at the level of the verb phrase; verbal adjective in copredicative and attributive constructions at the level of the verb and noun phrases. The different uses and values in verbal periphrastic constructions (emphasis, volition), and the grammaticalization as a finite verb form (Perfect) in main and independent clauses, are also analyzed. A participial origin of the Manner converb is proposed on typological grounds alone, because of lack of Afroasiatic comparative evidence, with three different grammaticalization paths, one for each level of juncture, where nominal morphosyntax played a crucial role in the refinitization process. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.14ros 06 10.1075/tsl.113.14ros 345 370 26 Article 19 01 04 On finitization On finitization 1 A01 01 JB code 901264254 Françoise Rose Rose, Françoise Françoise Rose Dynamique Du Langage (CNRS/Université Lyon2) 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/901264254 01 eng 03 00 Most diachronic studies dealing with finiteness are centered on the functional shift between main and dependent clause status. In contrast, this paper focuses on the acquisition of morphosyntactic finiteness features by a non-finite dependent construction that remains dependent, namely “finitization.” Givón (2011) suggests a theoretical distinction between “gradual” and “instantaneous” finitization, depending on whether the intermediate stage of the evolution involves mixed finite/non-finite morphosyntax or a variation between finite and non-finite clauses. The main findings of this paper are that, first, diachronic data from various languages attest to both these theoretical models, and second, that this distinction does not reside in the diachronic mechanisms at play (reanalysis or extension), but rather in the functional motivation for the change. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.15lan 06 10.1075/tsl.113.15lan 371 372 2 Article 20 01 04 Language Index Language Index 01 eng 01 01 JB code tsl.113.16nam 06 10.1075/tsl.113.16nam 373 376 4 Article 21 01 04 Name Index Name Index 01 eng 01 01 JB code tsl.113.17sub 06 10.1075/tsl.113.17sub 377 380 4 Article 22 01 04 Subject Index Subject Index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/tsl.113 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 20160623 C 2016 John Benjamins D 2016 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027206947 WORLD 09 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 https://jbe-platform.com 29 https://jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027267023 21 01 00 Unqualified price 02 99.00 EUR 01 00 Unqualified price 02 83.00 GBP GB 01 00 Unqualified price 02 149.00 USD 996016803 03 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code TSL 113 Hb 15 9789027206947 06 10.1075/tsl.113 13 2016009025 00 BB 08 830 gr 10 01 JB code TSL 02 0167-7373 02 113.00 01 02 Typological Studies in Language Typological Studies in Language 01 01 Finiteness and Nominalization Finiteness and Nominalization 1 B01 01 JB code 117253791 Claudine Chamoreau Chamoreau, Claudine Claudine Chamoreau CNRS (CEMCA/SeDyL-CELIA) 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/117253791 2 B01 01 JB code 256253792 Zarina Estrada-Fernández Estrada-Fernández, Zarina Zarina Estrada-Fernández Universidad de Sonora 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/256253792 01 eng 11 387 03 03 vii 03 00 380 03 01 23 415/.5 03 2016 P299.F56 04 Finiteness (Linguistics) 04 Grammar, Comparative and general--Nominals. 04 Grammar, Comparative and general--Morphosyntax. 04 Grammar, Comparative and general--Parenthetical constructions. 04 Functionalism (Linguistics) 10 LAN009000 12 CFK 24 JB code LIN.MORPH Morphology 24 JB code LIN.SEMAN Semantics 24 JB code LIN.SYNTAX Syntax 24 JB code LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 24 JB code LIN.TYP Typology 01 06 02 00 This volume addresses the relation between finiteness and nominalization, which is far more complex than the simple opposition finite-nonfinite.

The contributions analyze finiteness cross-linguistically from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, focusing on a number of topics that has not been thoroughly explored in the literature. First, the correlation between finiteness and nominalization is also affected by a third factor, information structure. Second, there is a correlation between the continuum of finiteness and the scale from main/independent clauses to dependent clauses. Given that of nominalized constructions occur not only in dependent clauses, but also in independent clauses, it is possible to grade according to degree of nominalization, which can then be related to the scale of finiteness. Finally, each of these scales can also be seen as a product the diachronic process of re-finitization and of finitization. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/tsl.113.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027206947.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027206947.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/tsl.113.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/tsl.113.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/tsl.113.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/tsl.113.hb.png 01 01 JB code tsl.113.001ack 06 10.1075/tsl.113.001ack vii viii 2 Article 1 01 04 Acknowledgments Acknowledgments 01 eng 01 01 JB code tsl.113.01cha 06 10.1075/tsl.113.01cha 1 10 10 Article 2 01 04 Finiteness and nominalization Finiteness and nominalization 01 04 An overview An overview 1 A01 01 JB code 624264240 Claudine Chamoreau Chamoreau, Claudine Claudine Chamoreau CNRS, CEMCA/SeDyL-CELIA 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/624264240 2 A01 01 JB code 968264241 Zarina Estrada-Fernández Estrada-Fernández, Zarina Zarina Estrada-Fernández Universidad de Sonora 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/968264241 01 eng 01 01 JB code tsl.113.s1 06 10.1075/tsl.113.s1 Section header 3 01 04 PART I.

This paper will introduce information structure as a third factor that has an important impact on processes of grammaticalization. Nominalized verb forms can be used in the formation of relative clauses and clefting. With these functions, they can become part of focus constructions. At a subsequent stage, they are reanalyzed either as finite forms with tense-aspect functions or as markers of stance. With the integration of the focus function of nominalized verb forms, a considerable part of what is described as insubordination (Evans 2007) can be explained in terms of a grammaticalization process, moving from the use in a focus construction to the reanalysis as a finite form. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.03est 06 10.1075/tsl.113.03est 43 68 26 Article 5 01 04 Exploring finiteness and non-finiteness in Pima Bajo (Uto-Aztecan) Exploring finiteness and non-finiteness in Pima Bajo (Uto-Aztecan) 1 A01 01 JB code 874264243 Zarina Estrada-Fernández Estrada-Fernández, Zarina Zarina Estrada-Fernández Universidad de Sonora 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/874264243 01 eng 03 00 This paper aims to provide a proper characterization of finite and non-finite clauses in Pima Bajo, a Uto-Aztecan language from the Tepiman branch. Our main research questions are, firstly, how to address the topic of finiteness in a language without morphological tense marking? And secondly, what are the relevant features or properties that distinguish finite and non-finite constructions in a language with no obligatory agreement markers? Finiteness and non-finiteness have long been discussed and analyzed in either formal or functional terms, mostly from a Eurocentric perspective. The most traditional notion takes finiteness to be associated with tense-aspect and agreement only, whereas functional approaches, consider finiteness to be a scalar, or gradient, phenomenon not reducible to tense-aspect marking and agreement. This paper analyzes finite and non-finite constructions in Pima Bajo, taking into consideration different morphosyntactic features, among them those that express illocutionary force and those that anchor the event. These features include aspect suffixes, personal pronouns, modals, and scope particles, among others. The analysis of finite and non-finite constructions in Pima Bajo shows that finiteness is a construction and language-particular phenomenon that cannot be reduced to morphological properties of the verb such as person and number agreement or tense marking. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.s2 06 10.1075/tsl.113.s2 Section header 6 01 04 PART II.

Some non-finite dependent clauses have been observed. The predicate is converted to a non-finite form by means of the non-finite marker -ni, without independent specification of tense or aspect. The use of non-finite clauses in clause-chaining, especially chain-medial clauses in narratives, is a phenomenon that appears to be frequent. Its primary function is to maintain event coherence. Reference tracking is almost always possible, but in specific contexts a new reference may be introduced in non-finite chain-medial clauses (participant discontinuity). Temporal continuity is generally attested, although some exceptions have been found with utterance predicates. Non-finite chain-medial clauses seem to display more finiteness features than the other non-finite clauses. In this paper, I describe and discuss in detail the uses of non-finite chain-medial clauses and the position of these non-finite clauses on the continuum of finiteness in Purepecha. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.s3 06 10.1075/tsl.113.s3 Section header 9 01 04 PART III.

The analysis shows that as part of this evolution, the source of grammatical nominalizers is mainly postpositional in Cahita, and that an old agent nominalizer with tempo-aspectual restrictions (suffix -(’)u) has now become a new patient nominalizer. This change clearly demonstrates that the referential function associated with this grammatical nominalization is prior to the noun-modifying function, showing that in Cahita relativization has to be considered as merely one specialized function of nominalization, namely the modifying function of an appositive grammatical nominalization. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.07pal 06 10.1075/tsl.113.07pal 141 170 30 Article 11 01 04 On the tightrope between infinitives and action nouns On the tightrope between infinitives and action nouns 01 04 The case of Otomi nominalizations The case of Otomi nominalizations 1 A01 01 JB code 271264247 Enrique L.

The structures involve intransitive nominalizations depicting a customary activity performed by humans (‘hunting’, ‘sowing’, etc.) as they appear in a complementation frame. I address the question of whether these nominalization structures in Otomi are morphologically non-finite forms or are just nouns. I show how a cognate structure in two close languages can be found in the two opposing ends of a nominalization scale: in Eastern Otomi, the structure is inflectional and should be analyzed as an intransitive infinitive, while its equivalent in Northern Otomi should be seen as an action deverbal noun. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.08moy 06 10.1075/tsl.113.08moy 171 204 34 Article 12 01 04 Referential markers in Oceanic nominalized constructions Referential markers in Oceanic nominalized constructions 1 A01 01 JB code 745264248 Claire Moyse-Faurie Moyse-Faurie, Claire Claire Moyse-Faurie UMR 7107 LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/745264248 01 eng 03 00 Nominalized constructions are a very frequent phenomenon in Oceanic languages, used in nominal, relative, or imperative clauses as arguments, adjuncts, or the prototypical expression of exclamations. I provide evidence that contrary to widespread views, tense, negation, and aspect markers do occur in nominalizations. I then examine restrictions on the occurrence of these markers, as well as of some articles, and try to find historical explanations. Lastly, I show that hierarchical constraints often formulated for nominalization and deverbalization processes do not fully apply to Oceanic languages, since the occurrence of tense and aspect markers is not only attested in lexical nominalizations but is also quite frequent in phrasal and clausal nominalizations, that is, at the syntactic and discourse levels as well. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.09que 06 10.1075/tsl.113.09que 205 242 38 Article 13 01 04 The role of nominalization in theticity The role of nominalization in theticity 01 04 A Sikuani contribution A Sikuani contribution 1 A01 01 JB code 46264249 Francesc Queixalós Queixalós, Francesc Francesc Queixalós CNRS (SeDyL/CELIA) 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/46264249 01 eng 03 00 When speakers need to communicate a piece of information in which they allocate all the components the same degree of informational density – especially the components expressing the state of the world described and the entities associated with it – they rely on linguistic mechanisms that may differ radically from those employed in speech-acts that involve a rhematic element (rather dense informationally) linked to a thematic element (rather thin informationally). In languages where existential predication does not require a verb of existence with the subject as the thematic element, this type of construction is well adapted to the thetic communicative intention, since it is organized around a noun phrase conveying rhematic information that is not connected to any thematic element apart from the world, or the situation. Since this element is not instantiated linguistically, or at least not by expressions capable of referring, the structure of this kind of existential predication is monadic. This is the most striking difference between the formal correlates of thetic constructions and those of the dyadic construction with rheme and theme. The Sikuani language makes a great deal of use of verb nominalization machinery (which provides a way to combine in the most parsimonious way the state of affairs described and the entities associated with it) in order to fulfill the goal of thetic communication. In particular, by playing with these mechanisms this language manages to modulate the degree of semantic reification of the state of the world described by the nominalized verb. Consequently a nominalized form with a thetic function becomes able to express semantic configurations (events, states, etc.) similar to those normally expressed by finite verbs. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.10hei 06 10.1075/tsl.113.10hei 243 268 26 Article 14 01 04 On non-finiteness and canonical imperatives On non-finiteness and canonical imperatives 1 A01 01 JB code 503264250 Bernd Heine Heine, Bernd Bernd Heine University of Cologne 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/503264250 01 eng 03 00 Imperatives exhibit cross-linguistically a wide range of structures, which makes it difficult to generalize about them or to propose a structural definition that would apply to all or at least to most of them.

In many of the latter, erstwhile nominalized subordinate clauses later undergo re-finitization, and the question then arises: by what diachronic mechanism do nominalized clauses eventually revert to finite structure? I have suggested earlier (Givón 2000) that in Ute (Northern Uto-Aztecan), the mechanism may involve the gradual re-acquisition of finite-features such as tense-aspect, but the details of this proposal were never documented. Three other mechanisms seem to suggest themselves. First, in some Bodic/Tibetan languages (Watters 1998) a new generation of finite subordinate clauses emerges, co-exists with, and slowly supplants the older nominalized clauses. Second, in Cariban, Northern Uto-Aztecan, Indo-European, Bantu and many other languages, subordinate clauses, in particular V-complements, are de-subordinated through tense-aspect genesis and other grammaticalization processes, and their nominalized structure then becomes the new finite mainclause standard (Evans 2007, Gildea, 1998, Givón 1971). Finally, in some Northern Uto-Aztecan languages (Guarijio, Tarahumara), the re-finitization mechanism seem to involve a slow elimination of nominalized features, such as e.g. genitive subjects, or re-interpretation of their function. This paper lays the background for a more fine-grained investigation of the diachrony of re-finitization. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.12mit 06 10.1075/tsl.113.12mit 297 322 26 Article 17 01 04 Shifting finiteness in nominalization Shifting finiteness in nominalization 01 04 From definitization to refinitization From definitization to refinitization 1 A01 01 JB code 145264252 Marianne Mithun Mithun, Marianne Marianne Mithun University of California, Santa Barbara 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/145264252 01 eng 03 00 A significant effect of clause nominalization is the loss of finiteness, of such morphological features as tense, aspect, mood, and valency, and the acquisition of such nominal features as case, gender, number, possession, and determiners. The constructions cease to function syntactically as predications; however, their evolution does not necessarily end with a complete loss of finiteness. They can continue to develop, re-acquiring morphological and/or syntactic properties of finiteness via various pathways. Here some developments of this type are discussed and illustrated with material from Barbareño Chumash, a language indigenous to California. Barbareño contains nominalized clause constructions at various stages of development, from progressive de-finitization to re-finitization, where formerly syntactically dependent clauses now function as independent sentences with special pragmatic relations within discourse. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.13van 06 10.1075/tsl.113.13van 323 344 22 Article 18 01 04 The Manner converb in Beja (Cushitic) and its refinitization The Manner converb in Beja (Cushitic) and its refinitization 1 A01 01 JB code 530264253 Martine Vanhove Vanhove, Martine Martine Vanhove LLACAN (CNRS, INALCO, PRES Sorbonne Paris-Cité) 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/530264253 01 eng 03 00 This paper focuses on the formal properties and uses of nonfinite constructions in Beja (Cushitic) with the Manner converb, and its refinitization as a Perfect paradigm. The analysis is carried out against the background of typological studies on converbs and copredicative constructions. This converb functions at several levels of juncture: predicate in deranked adverbial clauses, in complement and relative clauses for the encoding of inter-clausal relations; adverb and cognate object at the level of the verb phrase; verbal adjective in copredicative and attributive constructions at the level of the verb and noun phrases. The different uses and values in verbal periphrastic constructions (emphasis, volition), and the grammaticalization as a finite verb form (Perfect) in main and independent clauses, are also analyzed. A participial origin of the Manner converb is proposed on typological grounds alone, because of lack of Afroasiatic comparative evidence, with three different grammaticalization paths, one for each level of juncture, where nominal morphosyntax played a crucial role in the refinitization process. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.14ros 06 10.1075/tsl.113.14ros 345 370 26 Article 19 01 04 On finitization On finitization 1 A01 01 JB code 901264254 Françoise Rose Rose, Françoise Françoise Rose Dynamique Du Langage (CNRS/Université Lyon2) 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/901264254 01 eng 03 00 Most diachronic studies dealing with finiteness are centered on the functional shift between main and dependent clause status. In contrast, this paper focuses on the acquisition of morphosyntactic finiteness features by a non-finite dependent construction that remains dependent, namely “finitization.” Givón (2011) suggests a theoretical distinction between “gradual” and “instantaneous” finitization, depending on whether the intermediate stage of the evolution involves mixed finite/non-finite morphosyntax or a variation between finite and non-finite clauses. The main findings of this paper are that, first, diachronic data from various languages attest to both these theoretical models, and second, that this distinction does not reside in the diachronic mechanisms at play (reanalysis or extension), but rather in the functional motivation for the change. 01 01 JB code tsl.113.15lan 06 10.1075/tsl.113.15lan 371 372 2 Article 20 01 04 Language Index Language Index 01 eng 01 01 JB code tsl.113.16nam 06 10.1075/tsl.113.16nam 373 376 4 Article 21 01 04 Name Index Name Index 01 eng 01 01 JB code tsl.113.17sub 06 10.1075/tsl.113.17sub 377 380 4 Article 22 01 04 Subject Index Subject Index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/tsl.113 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 20160623 C 2016 John Benjamins D 2016 John Benjamins 02 WORLD WORLD US CA MX 09 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 21 13 8 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 99.00 EUR 02 00 Unqualified price 02 83.00 01 Z 0 GBP GB US CA MX 01 01 JB 2 John Benjamins Publishing Company +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 21 13 8 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 149.00 USD
