Synthetic Intensification Devices in Old English
Even though degree adverbs (e.g., swiþe) represent the most common intensification strategy in Old English, morphological devices are also very frequent, as expected in a predominantly synthetic language. This article studies synthetic intensification strategies in Old English with a focus on degree modification of adjectives and adverbs by means of spatial formatives (e.g., þurh- in þurhbitter ‘very bitter’ and for- in foreaþe ‘very easily’), pa…
From complementizing to modifying status
The dynamics of stance constructions
Secondary grammaticalization in clause combining
From clause to pragmatic marker
Propositional attitude predicates, such as English think , guess and seem , occur parenthetically in many languages. In this article we pay attention to a group of propositional attitude predicates which can be labelled epistemic/evidential, namely appear , look , seem and sound , and which, in addition to degree of certainty, also give an indication of the evidential source. In this study we describe the different parentheticals available with t…
Adjunct, modifier, discourse marker
Adjunct, modifier, discourse marker
This article studies the different uses of the adverb right in the history of the English language. Using data from the Helsinki Corpus, it is shown that the different synchronic functions identified for Present-Day English right – namely adjunct, modifier and discourse marker – can be said to represent different degrees of grammaticalization. The function closer to the lexical pole, that of adjunct, is also the oldest one, while the more grammat…
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…
