Cette thèse se propose d’étudier la grammaticalisation, processus d’évolution linguistique par lequel les éléments fonctionnels de la langue se trouvent remplacés au cours du temps par des mots ou des constructions de contenu, c’est-à-dire servant à désigner des entités plus concrètes. La grammaticalisation est donc un cas particulier de remplacement sémantique. Or, la langue faisant l’objet d’un consensus social bien établi, il semble que le changement sémantique s’effectue à contre-courant de la bonne efficacité de la communication ; pourtant, il est attesté dans toutes les langues, toutes les époques et, comme le montre la grammaticalisation, toutes les catégories linguistiques. Dans cette thèse, nous étudions d’abord le phénomène de gra...
