Peeking into the socio-historical background and current use of ‘me (no) likey ’: Historical and online texts in focus
The verb to like has fallen repeatedly under the gaze of scholars. One aspect which has stimulated vigorous discussion is its original use in impersonal constructions and its later change of argument structure along with the disappearance of impersonals from English. Nonetheless, evidence from current informal English shows that like is now used in constructions which bear a close resemblance to the older impersonals, although always displaying a…
“Me likey!” A new (old) argument structure or a partially fixed expression with the verb like
This paper explores the current use of the verb like in sequences such as “me likey”. This new use is practically limited to modern variant spellings (likey, likee, like-y and likie) and resembles the original (and now obsolete) impersonal structure of the verb in which the experiencer was encoded in the objective case and the verb was used invariably, among other aspects. However, rather than the re-emergence of an impersonal construction, the s…
The History of for example and for instance as Markers of Exemplification, Selection and Argumentation (1600-1999)
This article analyses the use of the example markers for example and for instance in exemplifying, selective and argumentative constructions. Of these three uses, exemplification—twofold sequences with a first general unit or hyperonym and a second more specific item or hyponym—has received recurrent attention in the literature, whereas selection—constructions where the first element is omitted—and argumentation—the use of example markers to conn…
Outlining a grammaticalization path for the Spanish formula en plan (de): A contribution to crosslinguistic pragmatics
This article discusses the diachronic development of the Spanish multifunctional formula en plan (with its variant en plan de , literally ‘in plan (of)’ but usually equivalent to English like ). The article has two main aims: firstly, to describe the changes that the formula has undergone since its earliest occurrences as a marker in the nineteenth century up to the early 21st century. The diachronic study evinces a process of grammaticalization …
Example Markers at the Intersection of Grammaticalization and Lexicalization
Givón’s words “today’s morphology is yesterday’s syntax” have been widely used to describe grammaticalization, a process of linguistic change which implies an increase in the grammatical status of a word or construction. In this paper, the process of grammaticalization of (for) example and (for) instance from nouns to example markers will be described. The paper will also address the incipient lexicalization of these expressions. However, this pr…
Enfermedad, identidad y simbolismo en Salón de belleza, de Mario Bellatin
Salón de belleza (1994), de Mario Bellatin, podría considerarse como un retrato de la soledad en grado extremo. La novela cuenta en primera persona la historia de un antiguo salón de belleza reconvertido en Moridero, es decir, en un lugar donde enfermos terminales van a pasar sus últimos días. La falta de identidad y el anonimato reinan de principio a fin, y solo en el tratamiento de los peces el narrador se recrea. Este narrador se comporta como…
