Abstract:

The present volume is centered on the notional domain of additivity. Many
linguistic phenomena are based on additivity (i.e. are incremental) and
additive relations are a mechanism that underlies a wide array of text types.
Specifically, the present volume is centered on the class of function words
which have been labeled, among many others, Additive Focusing Modifiers (FMs).
The chapters gathered in this volume deal with the syntactic, prosodic and
pragmatic properties of Additive FMs and new lines of research on these items
are pursued, including (i) the historical development of Additive FMs and the
use of these forms in older stages of the European languages; (ii) the
pragmatic and sociolinguistic properties of Additive FMs, in particular of the
functions they play in discourse and their distribution in different language
varieties; (iii) the processing of Additive FMs by adults, in particular by
relying on reading experiments involving eye tracking and self-paced reading;
(iv) the use of Additive FMs in language contact situations and (v) the
acquisition of Additive FMs by different learner groups.
