Abstract

This article deals with the formal and functional development of aspectual adverbs from indefinite quantifiers in German. More specifically, it focuses on the functions of adverbs that prompted their development into different iterative markers. Through a corpus analysis of spoken language data, insights were gained into the semantic spectrum of the nonstandard adverb als ‘always’. This adverb can be classified as an iterative and, in certain contexts, as a habitual marker, which has undergone a similar development to the standard language adverb viel ‘much’. The article shows that lexical markers of iterativity and—to some extent—habituality may suggest new avenues for variation and change research. It traces the development of the habitual function of als and offers new perspectives for in-depth analyses of the evolution of lexical aspectuality marking.*
质量、迭代与退化:论德语变体中不定量词迭代副词的演变
本文研究了德语不确定量词的方面副词在形式和功能上的发展。更具体地说,它关注的是促使副词发展成为不同迭代标记的功能。通过对口语数据的语料库分析,深入了解了非标准副词als ' always '的语义谱。这个副词可以被归类为一个迭代的,在某些上下文中,作为一个习惯标记,它经历了与标准语言副词viel ' much '类似的发展。文章指出,迭代性的词汇标记,以及在某种程度上的习惯性,可能为变异和变化的研究提供新的途径。它追溯了als习惯功能的发展,并为深入分析词汇方面标记的演变提供了新的视角
