Tracing the origins and grammaticalization path of Irish English habitual do V
This article addresses the use of the auxiliary do in affirmative declarative clauses (so-called periphrastic do ) during the early stages of the shift from Irish, the Celtic language spoken in Ireland, to English as the more common vernacular language there. A corpus compiled from the digital edition of the 1641 Depositions, a collection of witness testimonies recorded after a rebellion in Ireland, is used to examine the functions of periphrasti…
English motion and progressive constructions, and the typological drift from bounded to unbounded discourse construal
Recent psycholinguistic studies have revealed an important distinction in narrative discourse between bounded and unbounded language use. Bounded language use is typical of Germanic languages other than English and involves the holistic presentation of situations, with clauses construed as self-contained units attaining a point of completion. Unbounded language use, in turn, groups events into larger complexes of roughly simultaneous events, each…
Tomorrow I’ll go (a) shopping
Work on Construction Grammar and Diachronic Construction Grammar has foregrounded the idea that constructions are organized as a network of interconnected form-meaning pairs. This article explores the history of the construction exemplified in the title, henceforth referred to as the Expeditionary Go construction, and its relation both to other members of the small family of English go- constructions and to the prepositional be- progressive (e.g.…
Don’t go getting into trouble again!”
Building on Goldberg’s ( 2006 : 52) observation regarding the existence of “a family of related constructions in English” centred around the verb go , this article explores the history of the construction exemplified in the title (“Don’t go getting into trouble again!”) and its relation to other members of the network of go- constructions. The analysis, conducted using three large corpora, shows that the Go VP ing construction emerges from two so…
On the History of the English Progressive Construction Jane came whistling down the street
This article examines the historical development of the VV ingOBL construction, as exemplified by “Jane came whistling down the street” or “She went walking up the field path,” where an intransitive motion verb is followed by a present participle and an oblique complement. The analysis looks at the precursors of the construction since Old English and argues that the sharp rise in productivity of the VV ingOBL construction, especially from the sec…
The Great Complement Shift revisited
This paper examines the history of the ACC- ing gerundive, a subtype of verbal gerund differing formally from both bare gerundives ( I enjoyed reading the paper ) and POSS- ing gerundives ( I was surprised at Jane’s arriving late ) in having an overt subject argument either in the common case, if it is a full noun phrase (Two people worrying about each other, with no external diversion, brews a deadly atmosphere ) or in the accusative case, if it…
Motion events in English
English, a prototypical example of a Satellite-framed language (Talmy 1985, 2000), characteristically encodes manner of motion in the main verb and path in a satellite (John ran into the house). In this article I examine developments in the encoding of motion events from Old English to Late Modern English, in the light of Slobin's (2004a) diachronic model for the emergence of manner salience; also discussed is the extent to which the shape and si…

Some strategies for coding sentential subjects in English
This study examines two types of -ing subjects in English: the Late Modern English pattern the deceiving him was easy and constructions such as by trying to make her mother happy proved unlucky for Paul , which are becoming frequent among American undergraduates. It is argued that the presence of the and by in both structures is prompted by the desire to provide explicit grammatical marking for clauses that, because of their role as pre-verbal su…
On reanalysis and actualization in syntactic change
This paper examines the process whereby the English gerund, originally an abstract deverbal noun of action, was reinterpreted as part of the verb system and acquired verbal properties, such as the ability to govern a direct object (e.g., by writing a letter ). The analysis of the data reveals that by Early Middle English some gerundial patterns had become structurally ambiguous and thus served as the basis for the reanalysis of a nominal category…
Sounds, Words, Texts and Change
This volume and its companion one (English Historical Syntax and Morphology, CILT 223) offer a selection of papers from the Eleventh International Conference on English Historical Linguistics held at the University of Santiago de Compostela. From the rich programme (over 130 papers were given during the conference), the present thirteen papers were carefully selected to reflect the state of current research in the field of English historical ling…

On patterns of complementation with verbs of effort 1
The Development of Gerunds as Objects of Subject-Control Verbs in English (1400-1760)
The article offers an analysis of the development of the gerund, as an alternative to the infinitive, with verbs of subject control, such as attempt, bear, decline, forbear, etc. In the course of the early Modern English period, and particularly during the first half of the 18th century, there is a steady increase in the use of the gerund with most of the verbs in question, and it is suggested that the ultimate reason behind this trend might be r…
The Gerund in Early Modern English
Pendant la periode du moyen anglais, les noms au gerondif ont commence a acquerir un certain nombre de proprietes verbales : ils ont ete capables de gouverner un objet ou un complement predicatif, ils ont pu etre modifies par des adverbes et/ou des adverbiaux, ils ont presente des distinctions de temps et de voix, ils ont pu etre mis a la forme negative. L'A. examine ici dans quelle mesure ces differents aspects du gerondif se sont stabilises au …
