  1. Latin BE-periphrases, Aux-cliticization, and the genesis of Romance analytic BE-passives Lieven Danckaert (UGent, GIST)

  2. 2. VPAux/AuxVP in the history of Latin possum • Average rates of AuxVP: • earlier period : 31,60% • later period: 58,50% • Statistically significant? • Yes (Independent samples T-test, p = .000)

  3. 2. VPAux/AuxVP in the history of Latin debeo • Average rates of AuxVP: • earlier period : 32,83% • later period: 51,21% • Statistically significant? • Yes (Independent samples T-test, p = .025)

  4. 2. VPAux/AuxVP in the history of Latin BE • Average rates of AuxVP: • earlier period : 24,29% • later period: 19,00% • Statistically significant? • No (Independent samples T-test, p = .494)

  5. 3. The evolution of the F-pattern Relative frequency of F-periphrases • Average rates of AuxVP: • earlier period : 4,55% • later period with outliers: 29,35% • later period without outliers: 12,42% • Statistically significant? • with outliers: Yes (Independent samples T-test, p = .000) • without outliers: Yes (Independent samples T-test, p = .006)

  6. 3. The evolution of the F-pattern • Frequency of head-initial TPs in E and F-patterns compared: • Average rates of AuxVP: • Early: E: 29,03% • F: 20,38% • Statistically significant with outliers: No (Independent samples T-test, p = .905) • Late: E: 12,43% • F: 47,11% • Statistically significant with outliers: Yes (Independent samples T-test, p = .000)
