AB This paper is concerned with the process of language change whereby lexical items and constructions, in specific contexts, come to serve new grammatical functions. Emirati Arabic provides us with a wide range of grammaticalization phenomena. The aim of this paper is twofold: to shed light on the basic concepts relating to grammaticalization phenomena and to examine the grammaticalization of a number of constructions in Emirati Arabic, investigating their formation and the changes in their functions. The development of these grammatical constructions follows a grammaticalization pathway identified for a wide range of linguistic items cross-linguistically.
K1 Emirati Arabic : Arabe émirati : grammaticalization : grammaticalisation : volition verb : verbe de volonté : genitive exponent : génitif : reflexive pronoun : pronom réfléchi : subordinate conjunction : conjonction subordonnée
