Abstract of talk:
\n<\/strong>Previous research has shown that certain originally adverbial subordinators, such as as if <\/em>in (1), may acquire complementiser function over time, thereby coming to serve as (near\u2011)equivalents of the declarative complementiser that<\/em>.<\/p>\n

(1)\u00a0 It seemed as if<\/strong> \/ that<\/strong> he was trying to hide his true identity<\/em>.<\/p>\n

L\u00f3pez-Couso & M\u00e9ndez-Naya (2012, 2015, among others) have extensively discussed the complementiser use of a number of adverbial links which have followed this course of development. The authors show that these so-called \u2018minor\u2019 complementisers typically originate in subordinating links introducing clauses of Comparison (as if, as though<\/em>) and Negative Purpose (lest<\/em>), among others. The change under discussion has been interpreted as a case of secondary grammaticalisation, illustrating a process of increased grammaticalisation of already grammatical items in specific contexts (see Giv\u00f3n 1991: 305).<\/p>\n

This presentation addresses the same phenomenon in an adverbial domain not explored to date, namely, the domain of Time (Kortmann 1997: 84\u201385). More specifically, Castro-Chao will consider the history and use of two temporal subordinators, till<\/em> and until<\/em>, which are attested in complementiser function in Early and Late Modern English.<\/p>\n

The study draws on data from a number of sources, including Early English Books Online<\/em> <\/em>(1470s\u20131690s; Davies 2017) and the Corpus of Late Modern English Texts<\/em>, version 3.0 (1710\u20131920; De Smet et al. 2013).<\/p>\n
