One of the main concerns of recent research in discourse markers, modal particles and related elements has been the problem of a neat categorical delimitation between the major classes involved. Comparing the Spanish discourse particle bien and its French cognate modal particle bien, we show that the functional difference between discourse markers and modal particles can be accounted for in diachronic terms. In other words, discourse markers and modal particles arise in different diachronic pathways, and ultimately from different pragmatic strategies. Strategies which eventually yield discourse markers are related to the joint coordination of human interaction. In contrast, strategies which give rise to modal particles make reference to the status of a given proposition for the ensuing discourse. Our results suggest that there are levels of generalization on semantic change below the overarching tendencies of subjectification More importantly, we provide specific motivations for these levels of generalization, and ultimately for subjectification itself.

This paper investigates the history of discourse markers, with special reference to Italian guarda. This discourse marker has arisen from the imperative guarda! 'look!'. The imperative 'look!' may entitle the speaker to an interruption, because it conversationally implicates that she has to say something extremely important that requires the immediate attention of the conversation partners. It is argued that speakers will tend to use this imperative even in situations where they do not have something important for the others to look at. They will do so simply because this imperative is so useful for floor-begging. At this point, guarda! is no longer an imperative, but a discourse marker. The variety of DM functions can be shown to be already present as side-effects of the imperative use. Furthermore it will be argued, contrary to most current work, that the genesis of discourse markers is not an instance of grammaticalization.

Abstract Levinson (1995, 2000) and Traugott & Dasher (2002) suggest that semantic change proceeds from particularized conversational implicature via generalized conversational implicature to coded meaning. However, this model is ultimately neither theoretically nor empirically tenable. Our alternative proposal builds on the assumption that PCI are in the communicative foreground of a message while GCI are in its background. The following sequences therefore seem to be possible: 1. A PCI semanticizes directly: PCI(* → GCI) → coded meaning. 2. A PCI turns into a GCI, but is not fully semanticized: PCI → GCI (* → coded meaning). 3. A GCI semanticizes, but only after being foregrounded as a PCI: GCI → PCI → coded meaning.

In this contribution it is argued that grammaticalization and related types of change arise as a side-effect of strategic, rhetorical language use by speakers. The outcome of these processes is determined by the strategy for which the underlying lexical items are used, rather than by the lexical content of these items or by pre-set characteristics of types of change. This is illustrated with the three grammatical uses that derived from lexical bien in French: modal particle, concessive conjunction and discourse particle. This approach to grammaticalization and other changes is also shown to shed new light on high-level generalizations such as persistence, subjectification and pragmaticalization, which need to be complemented with lower-level generalizations about the rhetorical strategies that are driving them.

Abstract This article examines the diachronic relation between grammaticalisation and discourse. It highlights a research which stressed the importance of patterns of argumentation in discourse for the emergence of grammar over time. It discusses discourse strategies resulting in language change and suggests that grammaticalisation is the unintended outcome of those strategies that have scope over a proposition. It also contends that discourse markers are the outcome of those strategies that relate to the coordination of the construction of discourse.

The continental Germanic languages are well known to possess a wealth of modal particles (such as eigentlich , auch , and denn in German), whereas this is not the case in the Romance languages. The argument advanced here is that in Romance languages their functions are expressed by other means. To supply a tertium comparationis the study elaborates a communicative definition of modality, enabling us to identify forms of modal shading independently of translation comparisons. The investigation also demonstrates that in diachronic terms forms of modal shading (whether particles or not) are recruited from a specific type of language change.

This chapter discusses certain asymmetries in the behaviour of French strong pronouns when used either in the left or the right periphery of the sentence. It is based on an analysis of the ELICOP version of the Corpus Orleans , a corpus of spontaneous French conversations recorded in the 1960s, now freely accessible on the web. Parenthetical constructions of the type (moi) je trouve que 'I think that' have a special discourse function. The variant moi je trouve que with a strong pronoun is, despite its high frequency, still much less frequent than the unmarked variant with just the subject clitic je . The essential difference between left and right periphery seems to be this: while the elements of the left periphery serve to anchor the upcoming rheme and/ or the illocution expressed by it, the right periphery is a place where rheme and illocution can be re-negotiated. Keywords: ELICOP; French conversations; left periphery; parenthetical constructions; right periphery

Proceeding from the revival of linguistic interest in the rhetorical figures metaphor and metonymy and their underlying association types similarity and contiguity, the study demonstrates that metonymy is a powerful explanatory principle for many semantic phenomena in French sentence structures. First, the author shows how metonymic relations generate patterns of polysemy and are hence lexicalized in the valency of the respective verb. There follows a discussion of verb-valency restraints on the use of metonymic expressions. Here reflexive constructions etc. offer a new approach. Both perspectives reveal the primacy of the direct object for metonymic processes.

Recent years have seen intense debates between formal (generative) and functional linguists, particularly with respect to the relation between grammar and usage. This debate is directly relevant to diachronic linguistics, where one and the same phenomenon of language change can be explained from various theoretical perspectives. In this, a close look at the divergent and/or convergent evolution of a richly documented language family such as Romance promises to be useful. The basic problem for any approach to language change is what Eugenio Coseriu has termed the paradox of change : if synchronically, languages can be viewed as perfectly running systems, then there is no reason why they should change in the first place. And yet, as everyone knows, languages are changing constantly. In nine case studies, a number of renowned scholars of Romance linguistics address the explanation of grammatical change either within a broadly generative or a functional framework.

While French reflexive clitics have been widely studied, other forms of expressing co-reference within the clause have not received much attention. This monograph offers a diachronic study of the wider system of clause-mate co-reference in French, including the stressed pronouns, their suffixed form {soi/lui/elle}-même, and also the intensifier use of the latter. Its empirical backbone is a corpus analysis of the gradual replacement of stressed reflexive soi with the personal pronoun lui/elle from Old to Modern French. Apart from offering insights into the history of the language, this is important for current issues in theoretical linguistics, in particular binding, specificity, and the interaction of grammar and discourse. Within a cognitive-semantic framework, a number of analyses will help elucidate some long-standing puzzles in the study of French reflexives, while contributing to the wider theory of reflexivity and related issues. This book is of interest to the fields of French linguistics, semantics, discourse studies, and historical linguistics.
À propos de la genèse diachronique des combinaisons de marqueurs. L'exemple de bon ben et enfin bref
2007Langue française · 14 Zitationen · DOI
This article analyzes the diachronic rise of complex discourse markers, that is, markers consisting of more than one word. First, a taxonomy of four types of complex markers is proposed. Two of these types lend themselves to a specific diachronic analysis. Second, two complex French markers are analyzed in detail : bon ben and enfin bref. The diachronic rise of these two markers confirm the hypothesis that complex markers arise in a process of “over-use” of a given sequence of source words. These sequences are over-used in response to a functional need for these particular combinations of words in structuring discourse and interactions, regardless of whether the combinations of words are syntactic phrases or just a series of adjacent markers in discourse.
