Introduction
Through intriguing paths of change, manner expressions may give rise to both quotatives and a diverse range of complementizers. These paths of change are still far from mapped or fully understood, but after years of relative ignorance, they have recently been the subject of increased interest. In this paper, we introduce a special issue the aim of which is to add to the growing knowledge and understanding of the development of manner expressions …

Irregular perspective shifts and perspective persistence, discourse-oriented and theoretical approaches
In this introduction, we set out the central themes of the special issue. It concentrates on imperfect function-form mappings, and discusses several cases in which specific perspectival meanings are not fully predictable on the basis of a perspectivizing grammatical construction alone. We distinguish two kinds of form-function mismatches: (1) perspective-persistent phenomena, i.e. grammatically signaled deictic and/or cognitive perspective shifts…
Parenthetical clauses and speech reporting
This study turns to the pathway of change whereby an originally intransitive manner-of-speaking predicate (e.g. babble, whisper, shout) comes to function in parenthetical clauses as a direct speech reporting predicate. On the descriptive plane, the paper presents a detailed analysis of the recent developments affecting shriek in Early and Late Modern English. The case presented here does not involve the standardly assumed ‘reduction’ of a main cl…

The Diachrony of the Fact That -Clauses
This paper sheds new light on the status of the fact that-clauses as a diagnostic alternation of factive that-clauses, which are traditionally defined as presupposed true by the speaker. It does so by tracing their diachronic sense development and shifting distribution in Late Modern English. The analysis shows that in early uses, the fact that-clauses were predominantly used in contexts in which require overtly nominalised form of the clause (e.…
Multiple shifts
In this paper we report on a historical corpus study of English multiple , an adjective which underwent a process of grammaticalization starting from lexical uses with the meaning ‘composite’, e.g. HR 3617 is a multiple star , to grammaticalized uses as individualizer, paraphrasable as ‘different’, e.g. She has to perform multiple tasks at the same time , and as quantifier ‘several’, e.g. I have multiple friends in high society . Multiple is just…
The discursive status of extraposed object clauses
Factive” parenthetical clauses
Regret has traditionally been regarded as a “true factive” predicate that always presupposes the truth of its complement and cannot occur in parenthetical clauses (Hooper 1975). In the light of earlier observations that I regret and I regret to say have acquired non-factive uses (Heyvaert and Cuyckens 2010), this paper presents a synchronic analysis of the discourse contexts in which I regret and I regret to say occur as parenthetical clauses, an…
