Abstract

In his discussion note, Hilpert outlines an intriguing and very promising application of distinctive collexeme analysis to diachronic data. He tracks lexical associations of the English shall-future from Early Modern English to Present-Day English, showing how shifts in these associations can be related to the semantic development of the construction from ‘obligation’ to ‘intention’.
