Abstract:
The present paper aims to provide an improved understanding of the grammaticalization of parenthetical complement-taking predicates. We argue that this distinction allows us to be precise not only about the status of parentheticals with respect to the grammatical vs. lexical distinction, but also about the status of sentence adverbs. We broaden the scope to include constructions with clauses that are reduced and constructions that designate illocutions or states-of-affairs rather than propositions. Accordingly, we include data also from other languages without however pretending that this is sufficient to actually confirm our hypotheses crosslinguistically.
