Annotation
This article examines some of the so-called “conversational routines” (Coulmas, 1981) in Catalan, by observing the concept of subjectification as determined by Traugott and Dasher (2002) and Traugott (2010). These formulaic forms undergo an increase of subjectification which, in some cases, may lead to a grammaticalization process and beyond.
