Abstract:

Meaning change in grammaticalization has been variously described in
terms of decreasing semantic weight and increasing generality,
abstraction, (inter)subjectivity or discourse orientation. The author
shows that all these trends are subsumed by the notion of scope
increase along a precise hierarchy of semantic and pragmatic layers of
grammatical organization such as endorsed by Functional Discourse
Grammar. The scope-increase hypothesis is immune from the exceptions
and veritable counterexamples to all the aforementioned
generalizations and has the decisive advantage of being more
objectively measurable, given its direct bearing on actual linguistic
structure. The extremely rare exceptions to this generalization are
also addressed and found to always result from a type of change
independent from grammaticalization – the merger of two separate
speech acts.
