Maximal degree versus certainty: Similarity between the discourse functions of 'absolutely' and absolutamente and those of adverbs of certaintyIn this paper, we investigate the evolution from imperatives to discourse markers in Romance, with a corpus-based approach. We focus on the case of items coming from verbs meaning 'to look', in a semasiological perspective: Spanish and Catalan mira, Portuguese olha, Italian guarda, French regarde, Romanian uite. We show that they all share many uses, among which turn-taking, introduction of reported speech, hesitation phenomenon, topic-shifting and modalization, except for French regarde. We then establish (against Waltereit, 2002) that the developmentBenjamins Current TopicsPragmaticsDiscourse markersPragmatics.Discourse markers.401/.45Lauwers Peter689354Vanderbauwhede Gudrun1187091Verleyen Stijn699283MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818046303321Pragmatic markers and pragmaticalization3940742UNINA
