Abstract:

Discourse particles have often been treated as a phenomenon restricted to
Germanic languages (Abraham 2020) and they still raise questions about their
nature as an independent category. This book reveals that this phenomenon
exists in other languages as well, and provides evidence for their nature as a
separate category. The volume brings together a collection of nine papers that
focus on three research topics: a) the diachronic development of discourse
particles; b) their syntactic analysis; and c) the study of their
semantic-pragmatics. Furthermore, it also discusses other issues less often
dealt with in the literature but of great interest for linguistic theory, such
as the acquisition of discourse particles by children or the analysis of
elements not usually considered discourse particles but whose historical path
or microvariation indicates otherwise. Additionally, the book offers a
cross-linguistic perspective as it discusses various languages including
Basque, Catalan, German, Italian, Laz, Mandarin Chinese, Old English,
Portuguese, and Spanish.
