Sentence adverbs and modal particles in Basque
This paper investigates sentence adverbs, modal particles, and evidential-epistemic affixes in Basque. While previous studies have often grouped Basque verbal affixes expressing evidentiality and epistemicity under the label of modal particles, this work argues that such elements differ significantly from German modal particles in their morphosyntactic behavior and should instead be classified as evidential-epistemic affixes. The study also offer…
Peripheral versus non-peripheral optative particles
Discourse particles have been often associated with the sentence peripheries. However, considering for instance optative particles, we observe that their distribution can vary cross-linguistically, since some languages use middle-field particles, while other display left-peripheral particles. In addition, we observe further differences between these two groups, for instance, the grammaticalization process of optative left-peripheral particles is …
Discourse Particles
Syntactic analyses of discourse particles through the microvariation of Basque ote
In this article I look into dialectal data related to Basque discourse particles and I provide evidence that topics discussed in the literature on discourse particles can also be addressed within Basque microvariation. Four syntactically different types of the particle ote are examined: first, the general pattern found in all dialects where ote functions as a head and occupies a position in the TP-domain; second, the use typical of the eastern di…
Basque question particles
In this paper, we focus on the syntax of question particles in Basque and provide an account that draws new parallels between the syntactic behavior of discourse particles in Basque and some recent findings that have been reported for the German language, perhaps the most studied language of all when it comes to discourse particles. In particular, after having argued for a syntactic perspective on discourse particles for German, we deal with Basq…
