Parallels between the negative cycle and the rise of interrogative marking in French
In this paper, I discuss a type of construction that is rarely if ever mentioned in connection with diachronic
cyclicity: wh-interrogative marking. In particular, I shall compare sentential negation with
wh-marking in French and point to interesting commonalities between the prototypical diachronic cycle (negation)
and interrogative marking. The pragmatic contrast between question types in Old French is shown to be mirrored in a similar
contrast in Modern French, with the previously “strong” est-ce que interrogative now being a weaker one. In
addition, I argue that reversal of anaphoric direction is another shared feature in the history of negation and of the
est-ce que interrogative.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Historical Pragmatics provides an interdisciplinary forum for theoretical, empirical and methodological work at the intersection of pragmatics and historical linguistics. The editorial focus is on socio-historical and pragmatic aspects of historical texts in their sociocultural context of communication (e.g. conversational principles, politeness strategies, or speech acts) and on diachronic pragmatics as seen in linguistic processes such as grammaticalization or discoursization. Contributions draw on data from literary or non-literary sources and from any language. In addition to contributions with a strictly pragmatic or discourse analytical perspective, it also includes contributions with a more sociolinguistic or semantic approach.
