Cross-linguistic diachronic studies have focused on the parallel or divergent development of cognate or functionally equivalent items. This paper traces the diachronic convergent development of two unrelated items by means of a case study, the development of the German verb scheinen ‘shine, emit light’ and English seem ‘(originally) befit, beseem’. Despite their different source meanings, the two verbs have grammaticalized into evidential markers, as is evidenced by the constructions scheinen + zu + infinitive and seem + to + infinitive. We use historical corpus data to show that the two verbs have converged both semantically and syntactically. Semantically the verbs converge when they acquire the sense ‘appear, become visible’, a well-known source of evidentials. Syntactically, scheinen and seem come to occur in the same range of constructional patterns. This development is more advanced in English, so that it is ahead of German by at least four centuries.

This paper investigates the development of the copula shì construction in Chinese from the perspective of diachronic construction grammar (Traugott & Trousdale 2013). In prior work the development has been conceptualized in a grammaticalization framework, with focus on the individual expression shì, rather than on its development in the context of both the immediate syntactic frame and also of other constructions such as the demonstrative shì construction and the copula wéi construction. We show that the copula shì construction went through various types of expansion and reduction. The change was not unidirectional in the way predicted by a grammaticalization model such as is proposed in e.g. Lehmann (1995, 2004) and Haspelmath (2004).

This study investigates the use and distribution of the synonymous adverbs maybe and perhaps in order to determine their functional similarities and differences. After extracting usage data from the British National Corpus (BNC), this study explores the following factors by analyzing the target adverbs in a larger context: (i) the kind of register, (ii) the kind of NP chosen as the subject in maybe/perhaps clauses, (iii) the kind of modal verb used in the same clause, and (iv) the position occupied by the target adverbs in a clause. The corpus analysis demonstrates that maybe is more prone to subjective use while perhaps is a more strongly grammaticalized item, and that the factors related to a highly subjective context contribute much to the variation between the adverbs. In addition, I suggest that both maybe and perhaps (in combination with modal verbs or in final position) can be used in an intersubjective context.
本文研究了同义副词maybe和maybe的使用和分布，以确定它们在功能上的异同。本研究从英国国家语料库(British National Corpus, BNC)中提取使用数据，通过分析目标副词在更大语境下的影响因素，探讨了以下几个方面:(i)语域类型;(ii) maybe/ maybe从句中主语选择的NP类型;(iii)同一从句中使用的情态动词类型;(iv)目标副词在从句中所占的位置。语料库分析表明，maybe更倾向于主观使用，而maybe是一个语法化程度更强的词，并且与高度主观语境相关的因素对副词之间的差异有很大影响。此外，我建议maybe和perhaps(与情态动词结合或在最后位置)都可以在主体间语境中使用。

This paper traces the semantic development of the English absolute construction from Old to Present-day English on the basis of extensive corpus data. It is observed that the absolute construction developed from a solely adverbial, strictly subordinate construction into a construction with a much larger range of functions, including quasi-coordinate constructions whose ‘addition’ function comes close to that of and-coordinated finite clauses. This development involves an expansion of clausal status (from subordinate to anywhere between subordinate and quasi-coordinate) and a semantic expansion from typically adverbial meanings to any type of additional information. The process is claimed to have been facilitated by Middle English case loss and arguments for this facilitating role of case loss are adduced. It is then shown how these quasi-coordinate absolute constructions became more and more important as an absolute construction-function over time, as they were well-suited to the absolute construction’s high degree of syntactic independence. This evolution appears to have taken an opposite direction from the development of free adjuncts (Killie & Swann 2009: 339). This observation fits in well with the proposal that English ing-clauses form a network (Fonteyn & van de Pol 2015) in which each member maintains its own functional niche, rather than engaging in competition with one another.
本文在大量语料库资料的基础上，追溯了古英语到现代英语绝对构式的语义发展。我们观察到，绝对结构从一个纯粹的状语，严格的从属结构发展到一个具有更大范围功能的结构，包括准坐标结构，其“加法”功能接近于和协调有限分句。这种发展包括小句地位的扩展(从从属到从属和准坐标之间的任何地方)和语义扩展，从典型的状语到任何类型的附加信息。这一过程被认为是由中古英语的case loss促进的，并引证了case loss促进作用的论点。然后展示了这些准坐标绝对结构是如何随着时间的推移，作为绝对结构函数变得越来越重要，因为它们非常适合绝对结构的高度句法独立性。这种演变似乎与免费兼职的发展方向相反(Killie & Swann 2009: 339)。这一观察结果与英语动词从句形成一个网络(Fonteyn & van de Pol 2015)的提议非常吻合，在这个网络中，每个成员都保持自己的功能定位，而不是相互竞争。

History texts are not just disciplinary artefacts for describing, explaining or making arguments about the past. They play a key role in defining present-day group identities and their terms of affiliation. As such, they have generated a great deal of interest among functional linguists interested in how ideology is construed through language. But the ways history texts evaluate the past is not straightforward; they include a complex interplay of discourse participants putting forward a range of views toward the subject-matter. This article presents a framework for investigating evaluative meaning in historical discourse that aims to untangle this complex web of voices, showing how they work together to position readers to take up particular views toward the past. The framework brings together two prominent approaches to the study of evaluation: Martin & White’s (2005) Appraisal framework and Hunston’s (2000) notions of Status Value and Relevance. It posits four levels of evaluation (inter-, super-, extra- and meta-evaluation) that are grounded in insights from the field of historiography and reflect key disciplinary activities of historians.
