Description

This edition brings together some lesser known grammaticalization paths travelled by ‘come’ and ‘go’ in familiar and less familiar languages. No single book volume has been dedicated to the topic of grammatical targets different from tense and aspect so far. This study will increase our insight in grammaticalization processes in general as they force us to rethink certain aspects of grammaticalization. Foreword Contributors Introduction Passives Venire (‘come’) as a passive auxiliary in Italian Passive in motion: the Early Italian auxiliary andare (‘to go’) The Multiple Grammaticalization of Romanian veni ‘come’. Focusing on the Passive Construction Mood and modality When come and go go necessive Go and come as sources of directive constructions Discourse functions The Spanish auxiliary ir ‘to go’: from resultative motion verb to focus marker On the grammaticalization of venga ‘come’ as a discourse marker in Peninsular Spanish The grammaticalization of ‘go’ as an intensifier in Supyire Motion verbs in Shangaci: lexical semantics and discourse functions Conclusion How far have we come and where do we go from here? Discussion and directions for further research Subject index Language index
