Abstract

This paper deals with some challenges of Theory of Grammaticalization, as it argues for the importance of the writer and of rhetorical rules in the evolution of grammar. By studying the evolution of the Spanish markers no obstante, no contrastante and no embargante ‘in spite of, although, however’, data reveals that their rise in Old Spanish is not connected to an evolution in terms of grammaticalization from an absolute clause into a counter-argumentative particle. On the contrary, no obstante was introduced in fourteenth century Spanish as a consequence of syntactic borrowing from Medieval Latin. More specifically, this borrowing entered into Spanish through Aragonese and Catalan (languages spoken in the east of the Iberian Peninsula).

This new form created a new pattern of expressing counter-argumentation that was then analogically copied in the Romance Languages using no contrastante and no embargante. These elements were introduced also into Old Spanish under the influence of Catalan and Aragonese. No obstante, no embargante and no contrastante were the reflection of a rhetorical fashion: the forms obstante, embargante and contrastante had the same form for present participles, which gave the text a cultured and Latinising air that was well-suited to the rhetorical guidelines of pre-Renaissance and European Renaissance. Thus, the diachrony of no obstante, no contrastante and no embargante has much to do with the socio-cultural and linguistic situation of Europe in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
