Modal meanings become discourse-oriented
Van der Auwera and Plungian’s map of possibility and necessity paths, the main topic of the workshop from which this special issue emerged, offers a rearrangement of Bybee et al.’s data on grammaticalization paths in the domain of modality along three dimensions: necessity vs. possibility, pre-modal vs. modal vs. post-modal, and participant-internal vs. participant-external. In this article, I will argue for a different interpretation of ‘post-mo…
Historical change in the Japanese tense-aspect system
Modern Japanese has a formally very simple tense-aspect system, which at its core has only three forms that are complemented by a number of peripheral markers and constructions. The core of the tense-aspect system was much more elaborate and complex in Classical Japanese. This paper discusses the systems of Modern and Classical Japanese, and then sketches the development from the latter to the former. This development involves the grammaticalizat…
Where do demonstratives come from
Studies in grammaticalization have established that processes of grammatical change frequently have lexical items as their source, and more specifically nouns and verbs. But there is at least one potential exception: As argued by Holger Diessel in a number of publications, demonstratives cannot be historically derived from other entities, such as lexical items. Based on a survey of languages from different parts of the world and belonging to diff…
World Lexicon of Grammaticalization
Extensively revised and updated, this second edition provides, in an A-Z format, an analysis of the most important generalizations that have been made on the unidirectional change of grammatical forms and constructions. Based on the analysis of more than 1,000 languages, it reconstructs over 500 processes of grammatical change in the languages of the world, including East Asian languages such as Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Readers are provided …
Evidentiality in Japanese
This chapter provides an overview of the structure, meaning and use of evidential markers in Modern Japanese and a brief summary of evidential markers through Japanese language history. Japanese has inferential evidentials and reportive markers. They are realized as suffixes on a variety of (mainly verbal) predicates, and as grammaticalized nouns. Issues that arise and are discussed in this chapter include the differentiation between markers that…
Grammaticalization from a Typological Perspective
Constructional change vs. grammaticalization
Building on recent findings made in the framework of Construction Grammar, on the one hand, and within the framework on grammaticalization, on the other, the present paper is concerned with the development from lexical compounding to derivation. Compounding is presumably the most common source of derivational categories and this applies in particular to modifying (endocentric) compounds, which are the main subject of this paper. By looking at thr…

Perspectives on Semantic Roles
Semantic roles have continued to intrigue linguists for more than four decades now, starting with determining their kind and number, with their morphological expression, and with their interaction with argument structure and syntax. The focus in this volume is on typological and historical issues. The papers focus on the cross-linguistic identification of semantic-role equivalents, on the regularity of, and exceptions concerning change and gramma…
Coding causal–noncausal verb alternations
We propose, and provide corpus-based support for, a usage-based explanation for cross-linguistic trends in the coding of causal–noncausal verb pairs, such as raise/rise, break (tr.)/ break (intr.). While English mostly uses the same verb form both for the causal and the noncausal sense (labile coding), most languages have extra coding for the causal verb (causative coding) and/or for the noncausal verb (anticausative coding). Causative and antica…
Modality, Subjectivity, and Semantic Change
This text is a cross-linguistic exploration of semantic and functional change in modal markers. With a focus on Japanese and - to a lesser extent - Chinese, it is a countercheck to hypotheses built on the Indo-European languages.
The Oxford handbook of grammaticalization
This volume presents the state of the art in research on grammaticalization, the process by which lexical items acquire grammatical function, grammatical items get additional functions and grammars are created

Commentary on de Haan - Evidentiality in Epistemic Modality
Although the papers by de Haan (2010) and They differ in a number of details, such as de Haan's emphasis on -bottom-up procedure, which Boye assumes only implicitly, and the fact that de Haan accepts the idea of overlap between epistemic modality and evidentiality proposed by van der Auwera and Plungian (1998), while Boye rejects it. Nevertheless, they both essentially come to the same conclusion, namely that there is no -absolutely correct answe…

A Diachronic Dimension in Maps of Case Functions
One of the advantages of classical semantic maps with distinct connections between individual meanings (or functions) is that they are well suited for the inclusion of diachronic information. This paper intends to demonstrate how information on the directionality of meaning extension can be integrated into such maps. For this purpose, the diachronic dimension of three areas of case function, namely Companion-Instrument, Source-Agent, and Goal-Rec…

Commentary on Cysouw - What Should Be on a Map
Cysouw"s paper is one of the most radical and most theoretically intriguing contributions in this issue, both with respect to his definition of meaning and its operationalization for the construction of semantic maps, which are conceived as a "cross-linguistic metric on meaning" (section 1). On the basis of this definition, Cysouw offers a refinement of the terminology used in semantic maps (section 2) and a refinement of the terminology concerni…

This handbook compares the main analytic frameworks and methods of contemporary linguistics It offers an overview of linguistic theory, revealing the common concerns of competing approaches. By showing their current and potential applications, the book provides the means by which linguists and others can judge what are the most useful models for the task in hand. Scholars from all over the world explain the rationale and aims of over thirty expla…
Modality and grammaticalization in Japanese
Grammaticalization of modal markers has long been thought of in terms of change from deontic to epistemic meaning. This change, then, is typically thought of as a mapping between conceptual domains. Contrary to this perception, I argue in this paper that (1) change from deontic to epistemic (that is, the acquisition of epistemic meaning by deontic markers), although salient in many European languages, is cross-linguistically a marginal tendency, …
Modality, mood, and change of modal meanings
This paper has two goals. The first is to develop a cross-linguistically valid model of modality and mood that captures the most important dimensions along which modal expressions vary. I posit a model with two such dimensions, one of volitivity, and one of event-orientation vs. speaker-orientation, mood being placed at the speaker-oriented end relative to modality proper. The second goal is to provide a new perspective on semantic change of moda…

From transitive to causative in Japanese
Modern Japanese has a morphological causative, formed by suffixes on the verb, and lexical causatives. The morphological causative has been in use since Late Old Japanese. However, the etymology of this morphological causative and the status of related causative formations in Old Japanese remain unclear. This paper supports the view that lexical causative formations in Old Japanese are the direct predecessors of the morphological causative. In th…

Causatives as Honorifics
Le japonais moderne possede un causatif morphologique, forme par un suffixe sur le verbe. Au cours de l'histoire de la langue japonaise, ces suffixes ont connu des changements importants. Un trait specifique des suffixes causatifs en japonais est leur usage en tant qu'honorifiques, usage qui s'est perdu en japonais bas-moyen. L'A. examine d'abord les relations morphologiques entre causatifs et honorifiques. Il montre ensuite que le sens causatif …
World Lexicon of Grammaticalization
While the comparative method is concerned with regularities in phonological change, grammaticalization theory deals with regularities of grammatical change. In an A-Z format, this 2002 book summarizes the most salient generalizations that have been made on the unidirectional change of grammatical forms and constructions. The product of ten years of research, World Lexicon of Grammaticalization provides the reader with the tools to show how differ…
Polysemy and Indeterminacy in Modal Markers – The Case of Japanese beshi
Leggbo Verb Inflection
The goals of this paper are to present, first, a featural analysis of the inflectional system of oppositions which are explicitly marked on Leggbo verbs, specifically, aspect, mood, polarity and clause type; and second, an account of how this system of oppositions is realized in morphological terms. It will be seen that the inflectionally marked categories are organized in terms of a fixed hierarchy of privative features or "particles" which comp…
