Chinese coverbs are “verbs with prepositional functions” (Lord, 1993). This “amphibious nature” (Chang, 1977) of the Chinese coverb is the result of the evolution of the Chinese language. Linguists studying Chinese coverbs have generally described in great detail how coverbs developed from verbs diachronically.

520 $a My dissertation is an explanation of the development of Chinese coverbs through a specific case study: the grammaticalization of the Chinese word JI, which develops from a verb to a coverb, and then a conjunction, and eventually disappearing in modern spoken Chinese. Unlike earlier linguists, I approach the grammaticalization of JI both synchronically and diachronically. Synchronically, accepting that language is created by human beings for the purpose of communication, I hypothesize that language change is motivated primarily by the interaction of hearers and speakers. To support this hypothesis, I illustrate how the hearer's abductive inference initiates the language change and how the speaker's expressiveness makes the change observable based on the Relevance Theory (which contemplates the roles played by both hearer and speaker in the communication). Diachronically, I investigate the history of the word JI from 1400 BC (Oracle Bone Inscriptions—the earliest Chinese written documents) through the 10<super>th</super> century (Dun-huang manuscripts) to demonstrate that grammaticalization is a long and gradual process, and that language change motivated by hearers and speakers may last for several generations. The data about grammaticalization derived from the diachronic investigation further supports my hypothesis of language change.
