Abstract
This paper focuses on the paths of grammaticalization of the verb of speech manaš (‘say’, ‘name’)in Eastern Mari. The converb of this verb (manən) is desemantisized, it loses the syntactic properties ofthe verb of speech and shifts to the category of subordinators. Successive grammaticalization steps ofthis marker can be observed in Modern Mari: in some contexts it functions as a quotation marker, whilein others as a subordinator. We suggest two paths of grammaticalization of this form on the basis of thegiven analysis: the fi rst path involves the context of verbs of speech, mental and emotive complementtaking predicates, the second path involves the contexts of causation and potential situation (incomplementation), purpose and causal adverbial clauses. The argumentation for this grammaticalizationpattern is based on the constraints on subordinate predicate encoding (acceptability of non-fi nite clauseswith manən), the choice of pronouns [we focus on the choice of the anaphoric vs. deictic strategy ofencoding the textual («original» in [Aikhenvald 2008]) speaker and hearer] and the mood of the verbin the complement clause. We show that in Modern Mari the analyzed form can have the followingfunctions: as a quotation marker, as a subordinator in complement and adverbial clauses, as a discoursemarker of hesitation and autocorrection, and as a semantically empty subordinator that is used to expressnegation with the infinitive.
