Functional verb constructions of the type adferre + accusative:
synchronic and diachronic observations
In one of the last colloquia, I presented a paper in which I tried to answer the question whether there are so-called functional verb constructions in Latin at all, and I came to a positive answer (Hoffmann 1996). Especially one type, i.e. adferre + acc. of an abstract verb noun, seemed to be more interesting because of its causative function. In this paper I will try to see which degrees of grammaticalization this type has achieved in the different stages of the Latin language. Beginning with the Early Latin usage, I will also look at Cicero, Caesar, and Livy and afterwards, try to see how the verb is used in Silver and Late Latin. In all cases, I will test if adferre is used as a function verb at all, how far this use is grammaticalized and therefore can be distinguished from the normal usage of the verb.
