Our analysis is dedicated to the use of the indefinite article varying with bare nouns in a\u0000 historical perspective, based on a cookbook handwritten in 1556 in the East Swabian variety of Augsburg, containing about 900\u0000 instances of mass nouns with and without articles. Like in modern Bavarian, the readings OBJECT and QUALITY can be distinguished.\u0000 A comparison with the de-nominals in Old Spanish recipes shows that the indefinite articles appear in equivalent\u0000 positions with mass nouns mostly denoting non-specific regular objects as instantiations of the kind. The discussion of\u0000 quantifiers and measuring expressions shows a special syntactic and semantic behaviour of ain wenig ‘a little’.\u0000 The final discussion leads to the assumption that the indefinite article does not formally express a partitive relation, but, at\u0000 most, produces partitive effects.","PeriodicalId":53947,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation","volume":"14 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139443211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is true in particular for Austrian varieties. The present study focusses on article\u0000 variation and change in Austrian Upper German and discusses the status of article grammaticalization. To that effect, ‘radical’\u0000 cases of article use in Upper German are analysed, i.e. cases considered incorrect in standard German: the use of indefinite\u0000 articles before mass nouns, of definite articles before proper nouns, and of indefinite articles in the plural. These phenomena\u0000 are investigated by means of a comprehensive dialect survey (3,599 dialect translations by 163 dialect speakers from 40 research\u0000 locations). The analysis examines inner-linguistic factors (lexis, semantics, syntax) as well as extra-linguistic factors (dialect\u0000 areas, age group). The findings reveal a surprisingly high variability and a relatively advanced stage of grammaticalization in\u0000 some areas, especially Central Bavarian dialects.","PeriodicalId":53947,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42694624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we trace this transition from a purely verbal form to a discourse marker by searching a historical corpus of documents in Spanish, which reveals the increasing use over time of vaya in exclamatives to replace a presentational construction. We focus on vaya in isolation and in combination with an indefinite DP or a bare NP. We analyze the meaning of vaya as an epistemic discourse marker, by means of which the speaker expresses a judgment, a subjective epistemic and evidential evaluation of a proposition accessible from context. We postulate that these constructions sit in a Judgment Phrase at the syntactic-pragmatic interface (Krifka 2020), a position to which vaya also moves when its meaning is that of an expressive intensifier that directly modifies over one or more (contextually salient) properties of the noun contained in the DP/NP.","PeriodicalId":53947,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45858070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The discussion departs from the discussions in Struik & Van Kemenade (2020/2022) and Struik & Schoenmakers (to appear) on the diachronic development of English/Dutch, which focus on the\u0000 role of object shift and information structure. My interpretation of their data will be based on an earlier analysis of the\u0000 Germanic OV and VO languages in Broekhuis (2008: § 2.4; 2011). The main conclusions are the following. First, the change from the historical hybrid VO-OV systems\u0000 to the rigid OV and VO systems of the present-day languages is due to changing the “setting” [±V‑to‑v] to the\u0000 more categorical ones [−V-to-v] or [+V-to-v]. Second, the role of object shift in the diachronic\u0000 development is modest; it is not involved in the development of the OV-languages at all and involves only the (partial) loss of\u0000 object shift in the VO-languages (contra Struik et al.). Third, the encoding of the information-structural\u0000 new-given distinction remains constant in that the interpretation of (un)scrambled nominal objects does not\u0000 change over time (contra Struik & Schoenmakers).","PeriodicalId":53947,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42279216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, at least three Spanish dialects allow locating it at the end of a sentence. This paper discusses the properties of final pero as attested in the dialect spoken in Bahia Blanca (Argentina), i.e., the so-called pero bahiense. First, I demonstrate that pero bahiense cannot be reduced to superficially similar phenomena in Spanish. Then, I offer a comparison between pero bahiense and its sentence-initial counterpart showing that they share a number of non-trivial characteristics but also differ in relevant regards. Based on these properties, I advance an account of the pero bahiense phenomenon according to which instances of pero that express concessivity may optionally attract the CP projection to their left. While the analysis does not cover all properties of pero bahiense, it highlights aspects of the syntax of connective particles that require further investigation.","PeriodicalId":53947,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45318855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
