Reanalysis in the history of do: A view from construction grammar [Elektronische Daten] [Debra Ziegeler] The mystery of the rise of the affirmative, declarative (periphrastic) use of do in the thirteenth century and its decline by the start of the eighteenth century remains one of the principal unsolved problems for linguists working in historical research. Some of the main arguments on the origins of do discuss the needs of poetic rhyme (e.g., Engblom 1938), the positioning of the adverb (e.g., Ogura 1993), the elimination of awkward consonant clusters (e.g., Stein 1990), and the ambiguities of object referents in questions (Hudson 1997), much of the earlier historical research relying on hypotheses relating to internal problems of the system. The present study examines the early causative origins of do, viewed from a diachronic, construction-based approach, and offers an explanation in which the reanalysis and subsequent loss of do as a declarative, affirmative auxiliary took place via a process known as hyperanalysis (Croft 2000), resulting in the gradual process of co-lexicalization of the causative verb meaning within the semantics of the main verb across an ever-increasing range of main verb environments. © Walter de Gruyter Psycholinguistics nationallicence Cognition & cognitive psychology nationallicence reanalysis nationallicence hyperanalysis nationallicence "labile” verbs nationallicence construction grammar nationallicence Cognitive Linguistics Walter de Gruyter 15/4(2004-09-23), 529-574 0936-5907 15:4<529 2004 15 cogl https://doi.org/10.1515/cogl.2004.15.4.529 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/cogl.2004.15.4.529 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Ziegeler Debra 1.
