This article outlines various grammaticalization paths of the two types of the Turkic particle ki: the modal particle ki and the copied junctor ki. The element ki has been employed in Turkic languages in all documented historical periods, serving various semantic and syntactic functions as particles and junctors, i.e., subjunctors, conjunctors or adjunctors. Typological studies often blur any distinctions between semantic and syntactic properties by giving priority to semantic/cognitive criteria, which are easily applicable in large-scale comparative studies, e.g., Cristofaro (2003). Cross-Turkic comparison of the grammaticalization of ki elements shows that structures sharing semantic/cognitive properties may be syntactically different. Ki plays a special role in high-copying Turkic varieties that have throughout replaced typical Turkic bound junctors by free junctors (Johanson 2000, 2002, 2010).
