Abstract:
Particles have for the longest time been ignored by linguistic research.
School-type grammars ignored them since they did not fit into pre-conceived
notions of categories, and since they did not seem to enter into grammatical
relations commonly discussed in the genre.
Only in the last century did some publications discuss particles – and even
then only from the perspective of their discourse and pragmatic functions,
i.e. their dependance on certain previous contexts, and concluded that the
function of particles for the grammar of sentences and their interpretation
remains obscure.
The current volume presents 11 new articles that take a fresh look at
particles: As it turns out, particles inform many aspects of syntax and
semantics, too – both diachronically and synchronically: Particles are shown
to have fascinating syntactic properties with respect to projection, locality,
movement and scope. Their interpretative contributions can be studied with the
rigorous methods of formal semantics. Cross-linguistic and diachronic
investigations shed new light on the genesis and development of these
intriguing – and under-estimated – kinds of lexical elements.
Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics
Semantics
Syntax
