Abstract

This paper focuses on the formal and functional development of Italian (< Latin [‘in that hour’]) ‘at that time, then, well’ considering its polyfunctionality and its relationship with the functional space of (‘then, therefore’). The developments of both forms revolve around their functional domains as connectives and as discourse markers which over the centuries have shown different degrees of functional overlap. Even though the two forms show a fairly stable functional overlap, since the twentieth century has begun to replace with increasing frequency in many discourse marker functions. This substitution can be described in terms of a semantic–pragmatic cycle, while the formal development of from Latin is an instance of a morphological cycle.
