Abstract

Abstract Old Catalan presents two affirmative particles competing for the same function between the 13th and the 17th centuries: si and hoc. This article explores their syntax and the factors that contributed to the rise of the former and the disappearance of the latter and accounts for their distribution in the written record. Traditionally, it was believed that hoc was the only positive sentential proform active in the language until the 15th century. However, si had already been grammaticalised as such by the 13th century, its new function being obscured in the written record by the pervasive use of the official koine established by the Crown of Aragon’s Cancelleria in learned prose. Nevertheless, in documents closer to speech, si makes a much earlier appearance and shows great vitality before the 15th century, the last century when hoc was still hegemonic before finally disappearing as a consequence of external and internal factors.
Sí和hoc在加泰罗尼亚语的历史上
在13世纪和17世纪之间,古加泰罗尼亚语呈现出两个肯定的小词:si和hoc,它们竞争着相同的功能。本文探讨了它们的句法,以及导致前者兴起和后者消失的因素,并解释了它们在书面记录中的分布。在15世纪之前,人们一直认为hoc是英语中唯一活跃的肯定句形式。然而,到13世纪,si已经被语法化了,它的新功能在书面记录中被阿拉贡的Cancelleria在学术散文中普遍使用的官方koine所掩盖。然而,在更接近言语的文献中,“si”的出现要早得多,并且在15世纪之前显示出巨大的生命力。15世纪是“hoc”仍然处于霸权地位的最后一个世纪,但最终由于外部和内部因素的影响而消失。
