46 Sections On the diachrony of Italian mica Visconti, Jacqueline University of Genoa Jacqueline@unige.it This paper provides an account of the origins and evolution of the Italian negative particle mica. Starting from Schwenter’s (forthcoming) analysis of the information-structural nature of the constraints observed in the use of “non-canonical” forms of negation, such as Catalan pas and Italian mica, this paper looks at the diachronic data as a key for capturing the synchronic properties of such forms. The data are from the Letteratura Italiana Zanichelli and the Tesoro della Lingua Italiana. The results bear on three main issues: (i) the synchronic and diachronic properties of negation in a wider context; (ii) concepts such as ‘given’, ‘new’, ‘inferrable’, ‘accessible’ information and the whole dimension of ‘giveness’; (iii) the contribution of the lexicon to the information-structural dimension of texts. References Schwenter, Scott (forthcoming). “Fine-tuning Jespersen’s Cycle”, in: Drawing the Boundaries of Meaning: Neo-Gricean Studies in Pragmatics and Semantics in Honor of Laurence R. Horn, ed. by Betty J. Birner and Gregory Ward. Amsterdam: Benjamins.

The Grammaticalisation of Will- and Shall-Futures in Middle English Wischer, Ilse University of Potsdam wischer@uni-potsdam.de Although willan and sculan still occurred as lexical verbs in Old English, they had already developed auxiliary status and were used in periphrastic constructions (cf. Wischer forthcoming). Here they most often conveyed a deontic modal meaning (of volition or obligation). However, apart from this there were already epistemic uses and occasionally the constructions with willan and sculan even referred to mere future events. (for the latter cf. also Jespersen 1909: 275-276; Mustanoja 1960: 489; Kisbye 1971: 111; Berndt 1982: 148- 149). Bybee et al. (1994: 244) define a genuine future tense as "a prediction on the part of the speaker that the situation in the proposition, which refers to an event taking place after the moment of speech, will hold". Thus, as a mere future it must be devoid of any modal meaning and express just a prediction. Bybee et al. further claim that cross-linguistically agent-oriented sources of desire or obligation are less amply attested than other source constructions of future grams, such as those containing movement verbs or ‘be-/become’-verbs. The reason for this could be that the meaning of volition- or obligation markers might be generally too specific for a semantic attrition process. In my paper I will approach the question of how will and shall lost their modal meanings to become future markers, i.e. in what constructions they were used and what specific meanings they conveyed in these linguistic contexts that allowed an interpretation in a mere future sense. I will base my analysis on data drawn from the ME part of the Helsinki Corpus. With this I hope to shed some light on the use of will and shall in ME, based on the analysis of empirical data as well as to contribute to a better understanding of the grammaticalisation process of future grams in general.
