Gegenstand der Untersuchung sind die endophorischen (d.h. nicht-situativen) Verwendungen demonstrativischer Ausdrücke im heutigen Französischen und Italienischen. Ausgangspunkt der sprachvergleichenden Analyse ist die morphologisch definierte Klasse der Demonstrativa in beiden Sprachen. In Abgrenzung zu den Funktionen von definitem Artikel und Personalpronomen werden die einzelnen Verwendungstypen ermittelt und deixistheoretisch eingeordnet. Ausgangspunkt ist die Annahme, dass auch die nicht-situativen, d.h. vor allem anaphorische und kataphorische, Verwendungen der Demonstrativa grundsätzlich deiktischen Charakter haben. Es wird gezeigt, dass in den endophorischen Verwendungen in beiden Sprachen eine eigenständige Realisierung der Deixis vorliegt, die nur marginal über die Nähe/Distanz-Relation im Text verläuft. Große Unterschiede im Form-Funktionsverhältnis zeigen sich dabei v.a. bei den morphosyntaktisch deutlich divergierenden adnominalen Paradigmen beider Sprachen. Der empirischen Untersuchung liegt ein umfangreiches Korpus überwiegend schriftsprachlicher Texte zugrunde.

This volume explores the use of demonstratives in the structuring and management of discourse, and their role as engagement expressions, from a crosslinguistic perspective. It seeks to establish which types of discourse-related functions are commonly encoded by demonstratives, beyond the well-established reference-tracking and deictic uses, and also investigates which members of demonstrative paradigms typically take on certain functions. Moreover, it looks at the roles of non-deictic demonstratives, that is, members of the paradigm which are dedicated e.g. to contrastive, recognitional, or anaphoric functions and do not express deictic distinctions. Several of the studies also focus on manner demonstratives, which have been little studied from a crosslinguistic perspective. The volume thus broadens the scope of investigation of demonstratives to look at how their core functions interact with a wider range of discourse functions in a number of different languages. The volume covers languages from a range of geographical locations and language families, including Cushitic and Mande languages in Africa, Oceanic and Papuan languages in the Pacific region, Algonquian and Guaykuruan in the Americas, and Germanic, Slavic and Finno-Ugric languages in the Eurasian region. It also includes two papers taking a broader typological approach to specific discourse functions of demonstratives.

Atypical demonstratives have not received adequate attention in the literature so far, or have even been completely neglected. By providing fresh insights and discussing new facets, this volume contributes to the better understanding of this group of words, starting from specific empirical phenomena, and advances our knowledge of the various properties of demonstratives, their syntactic multi-functionality, semantic feature specifications and pragmatic functions. In addition, some of the papers discuss different grammaticalization processes involving demonstratives, in particular how and from which lexical and morphosyntactic categories they originate cross-linguistically, and which semantic or pragmatic mechanisms play which role in their emergence. As such, the different contributions guide the readers on an adventurous journey into the realm of different exotic species of demonstratives, whose peculiar properties offer new exiting insights into the complex nature of demonstrative expressions themselves.

This book concerns one of the paradigm examples of grammaticalization, the development of a definite article from a demonstrative determiner. Although standard written Finnish has no articles, the demonstrative se is currently emerging as a definite article in spoken Finnish. This book describes and explains the developing use of se based on a database consisting of spoken narratives from three different periods spanning the last one hundred years.

Past research on the Sabellian languages has been devoted mainly to the phonetic and morphological features of these languages as elements for the reconstruction of the prehistoric stages of Latin. The present book aims at analysing the semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic features of a subset of grammatical terms, the demonstratives. It contains a thorough description of their synchronic behaviour, which permits both a comparison to the Latin data with new hypotheses on the epigraphic genres in Republican Italy and a reconstruction of the Italic origins of these terms based on typological principles. Neither the grammar of Sabellian nor the pragmatic scope of the Sabellian inscriptions should be considered a priori identical to their Latin comparanda.

The study expands our understanding of the functions of proximal and distal demonstratives using the example of Old French. For the first time, in addition to referential anchoring, the author uncovers the ontological type of the “reference object.” The combination of these two criteria creates a functional profile that sheds new light on the diachrony of cist and cil.

All languages have demonstratives, but their form, meaning and use vary tremendously across the languages of the world. This book presents the first large-scale analysis of demonstratives from a cross-linguistic and diachronic perspective. It is based on a representative sample of 85 languages. The first part of the book analyzes demonstratives from a synchronic point of view, examining their morphological structures, semantic features, syntactic functions, and pragmatic uses in spoken and written discourse. The second part concentrates on diachronic issues, in particular on the development of

Les démonstratifs font partie des catégories grammaticales qui évoluent le plus dans les langues du monde. C'est particulièrement vrai en français, où ils connaissent une série de changements affectant tous les niveaux linguistiques (morphologie, morphosyntaxe et sémantique). Des origines du français à aujourd'hui, le système des démonstratifs s'est complètement réorganisé. Il s'est structuré autour de deux paradigmes morphosyntaxiques opposés (les pronoms et les déterminants) et s'est partiellement vidé de sa sémantique première. Cet ouvrage porte sur l'évolution sémantique des démonstratifs en français. Il est centré sur la période médiévale (9ème-15ème siècle) et montre par quelles étapes la valeur personnelle héritée du latin laisse place à une valeur plus abstraite, qui distingue les démonstratifs du français de ceux de la majorité des autres langues (romanes ou non). On y insiste sur la dimension pragmatique et cognitive de cette évolution et on s'est fondé sur la méthodologie de corpus. Ce livre s'adresse aux linguistes, enseignants-chercheurs et étudiants, qui sont spécialistes de la linguistique diachronique et du changement sémantique, mais aussi à tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la sémantique référentielle, aux processus anaphoriques et déictiques, et aux évolutions typologiques qui marquent l'histoire du français.
