This paper attempts to explore the historical evolution of the English preposition to from a grammaticalization perspective. As a cause linker, to shows diverse semantic-functional characteristics in Present-day English as an Allative, Dative, and Complementizer marker. Considering such a diversity of a single form as a result of the historical pragmatics and cognitive reanalysis, this paper focuses on the analysis of the semantic-functional change of to undergone over time, the semantic extension patterns triggered by cognitive mechanisms, and the functional distributions in Modern/ Present-day English with synchronic and diachronic data. To examine the diverse paths and the semantic development shown in to, this paper suggests grammaticalization process that is largely enabled by the conceptual mechanisms along the event schema, and presents an explication for the relationship between allative and dative concepts based on the cognitive forces that operate in language use. The role of frequency is also discussed as a major trigger to cause the semantic generalization and functional shifts of this clause linker, and the distributional characteristics of to is presented based on both synchronic and diachronic observations. Further, this paper addresses the interrelations of phonetic bulk, semantic-functional complexity, frequency, and the degree of grammaticalization, which can be explained in terms of the Parallel Reduction Hypothesis (Bybee et al. 1994) and finally provides the theoretical implications on the basis of the observations obtained from the analysis of the preposition to.
Abstract
This paper attempts to explore the historical evolution of the English preposition to from a grammaticalization perspective. As a cause linker, to shows diverse semantic-functional characteristics in Present-day English as an Allative, Dative, and Complementizer marker. Considering such a diversity of a single form as a result of the historical pragmatics and cognitive reanalysis, this paper focuses on the analysis of the semantic-functional change of to undergone over time, the semantic extension patterns triggered by cognitive mechanisms, and the functional distributions in Modern/ Present-day English with synchronic and diachronic data. To examine the diverse paths and the semantic development shown in to, this paper suggests grammaticalization process that is largely enabled by the conceptual mechanisms along the event schema, and presents an explication for the relationship between allative and dative concepts based on the cognitive forces that operate in language use. The role of frequency is also discussed as a major trigger to cause the semantic generalization and functional shifts of this clause linker, and the distributional characteristics of to is presented based on both synchronic and diachronic observations. Further, this paper addresses the interrelations of phonetic bulk, semantic-functional complexity, frequency, and the degree of grammaticalization, which can be explained in terms of the Parallel Reduction Hypothesis (Bybee et al. 1994) and finally provides the theoretical implications on the basis of the observations obtained from the analysis of the preposition to.
