>This talk looks at the polysemous, multifunctional
Shaowu verb [tie53] which means ‘to get’ in a mono-transitive
construction, and which is relexified to mean ‘to give’ in a ditransitive
construction through the process of semantically-coerced syntactic change. The
morpheme then grammaticalises along a bifurcated pathway to become a possibility
modal suffix, a verb complement marker, as well as dative, benefactive,
causative and passive markers, among other uses. This polyfunctionality may in
part be due to language-internal change, but may also be attributed to
contact-induced grammaticalisation. Historical documents will be examined to pinpoint
these diachronic changes, while languages from other dialect groups and
language families will be considered for the likelihood of areal diffusion of
certain constructions and functions of the Shaowu GET/GIVE verb.
