Abstract:

In The Evolution of Complex Spatial Expressions within the Romance Family,
Thomas Hoelbeek offers a corpus-based historical study of a group of
expressions in French and Italian. Applying a functional approach, he tackles
adpositions containing the French noun travers or the Italian noun traverso,
previously never analysed from a diachronic perspective.

This study enriches our knowledge of the expressions analysed and their
functioning in the past, but also in present-day French and Italian, providing
diachronic observations regarding functional notions put to the test. Thomas
Hoelbeek’s work also contributes to a better understanding of the
grammaticalisation mechanisms of complex constructions, and shows that
typologically related languages may evolve differently in their ways of
representing space.
