ANDRASON, Alexander; GEBKA-WOLAK, Malgorzata y MOROZ, Andrzej. The rise of the WZIAC (TAKE) Serial Verb Construction in Polish. SPiL plus (Online) [online]. 2023, vol.65, pp.11-36. ISSN 2224-3380. http://dx.doi.org/10.5842/65-1-967.
The present study is dedicated to the emergence of an asymmetrical serial verb construction (SVC) with the verb wziqc in Polish. By making use of a dynamic prototype-driven approach to linguistic categorization and by reviewing the historical corpora that range from the first Old Polish texts in the 14th c. until the end of the New Polish period in 1939, the authors conclude that the wziqc SVC has resulted from the fusion of the original conjunctively coordinated (CC) clauses. Although two types of clause-fusion mechanisms have operated during the grammaticalization of the wziqc SVCs, their contribution to this process has been dissimilar. The evolution from the syndetic CC with the coordinator i to the wziqc SVC via a pseudo-coordinated (PC) stage (i.e., the wziqc-i PC) has constituted a faster and stronger drift, while the more direct evolution originating in the asyndetic CC with wziqc has been slower and less pervasive.
