“…The German scalar adverbs sogar and selbst can also be used in concessive conditionals. For an overview of the various concessive constructions in German, see Breindl (2014). 23 The only language mentioned by Forker (2016) whose additive has a function as an epistemic modal marker is Jaqaru, which belongs to the Aymaran language family, which has been in extensive contact with the Quechuan languages for several centuries (Cerrón Palomino 2000).…”

The many functions of Cuzco Quechua =<i>pas</i>: implications for the semantic map of additivity

The additive enclitic =pas of Cuzco Quechua is multifunctional: besides marking additivity it also participates in the marking of concessivity, epistemic possibility and the formation of non-specific indefinite pronouns. This paper provides a description of these functions and proposes that they all involve a presupposition of existential quantification over alternatives. Their differences result from the type of alternatives quantified over, namely focus, epistemic or wh-alternatives. The particular clustering of functions found with =pas has implications for the semantic map of additivity proposed by Forker (2016), and presents a counterexample to three implicational universals it encapsulates. Modifications to the map are proposed to accommodate =pas, including connecting it with the semantic map of modality, and recognizing scalar additivity as a subtype of additivity.

“…The Spanish Diccionario de partículas discursivas del español (DPDE -Briz et al, 2008) 13 includes detailed, unstructured information on its 210 discourse particles (not including conjunctions and prepositions), including a definition, examples, information on prosody and punctuation, sentence position of the marker, register, variants, translations into other languages, and others. The comprehensive Handbuch der Konnektoren (Pasch et al, 2003;Breindl et al, 2014) likewise provides item-level descriptions that include possible sentence positions, meaning and register information, available modifiers or focus particles, and idiosyncrasies for each connective. Some of this information is by necessity language specific.…”

In this paper, we present a tangible outcome of the TextLink network: a joint online database project displaying and linking existing and newly-created lexicons of discourse connectives in multiple languages. We discuss the definition and demarcation of the class of connectives that should be included in such a resource, and present the syntactic, semantic/pragmatic, and lexicographic information we collected. Further, the technical implementation of the database and the search functionality are presented. We discuss how the multilingual integration of several connective lexicons provides added value for linguistic researchers and other users interested in connectives, by allowing crosslinguistic comparison and a direct linking between discourse relational devices in different languages. Finally, we provide pointers for possible future extensions both in breadth (i.e., by adding lexicons for additional languages) and depth (by extending the information provided for each connective item and by strengthening the crosslinguistic links).

“…The first step in building a lexicon is to decide which items to include, along the lines of the definitions we provided in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. DiMLex in its early stages was developed in cooperation with the research group at Institut für Deutsche Sprache (IDS) that was responsible for compiling the "Handbook of German Connectives" (Pasch et al, 2003;Breindl et al, 2015). The first DiM-Lex version was a subset of the words studied by that group, viz.…”

Primary and secondary discourse connectives: definitions and lexicons

Starting from the perspective that discourse structure arises from the presence of coherence relations, we provide a map of linguistic discourse structuring devices (DRDs), and focus on those for written text. We propose to structure these items by differentiating between primary and secondary connectives on the one hand, and free connecting phrases on the other. For the former, we propose that their behavior can be described by lexicons, and we show one concrete proposal that by now has been applied to three languages, with others being added in ongoing work. The lexical representations can be useful both for humans (theoretical investigations, transfer to other languages) and for machines (automatic discourse parsing and generation).
