  • The Continuative Cycle

    2025. Luba Nikolova Vesselinova, Anastasia Panova. Cyclic Change in Grammar and Discourse, 126-154

    Kapitel

    This chapter outlines the evolution of continuative (still) expressions and ultimately highlights a hitherto less discussed cyclical process, the Continuative Cycle (CC). Three genealogical groupings of different size and time depth (Germanic, Slavic, and Austronesian) provide the data for this work. Two pathways of the CC occur commonly: CC via replacement whereby the erstwhile still expression is superseded by a new one and CC via reinforcement, reminiscent of doubling à la the Jespersen Cycle in that an old still expression no longer encodes this sense on its own, but rather has to be used together with another word. In addition, renewal of still expressions may occur via specification of a general continuative that was previously underspecified for polarity. The multifunctionality of older still expressions and their interaction with negation bear significantly on their renewal. The recurrence of the CC in many unrelated languages suggests that the continuative is a cognitively stable function.
