The disposal form is probably the most studied construction so far, either in synchrony or in diachrony. However, the problem of the origin of this form is still debated. The classical hypothesis on the origin of the disposal form is the following: В A (mainly jiang and ba) were verbs in Archaic Chinese; used in V1 position in serial verb constructions of the type "VI + О + V2" since early medieval, they were grammaticalized and became prepositions some time between the 7th and 9th centuries. This classical analysis has been challenged recently in several ways. First of ally jiang and ba could come directly from yi - through an analogous process - by a single lexical replacement, without it being necessary to speak of any grammaticalization. The disposal forms could also come from subject-patient sentences to which one could add jiang or ba. This paper discusses these new hypotheses and concludes: 1) that the hypothesis of an analogous phenomenon with yi, which might have served as a model to jiang and ba, is worth maintaining; 2) that the hypothesis whereby the disposal sentences could have come from patient-subject sentences to which a jiang or ba word has been added is not motivated; 3) that one can reasonably suppose that the two joint processes of analogy (with yi forms) and grammaticalization (V > Prep.) did play a role in the appearance and development of disposal forms.

SINTAXIS Y DISCURSO EN LA LENGUA CHINA : EL MITO DE LA OCCI- DENTALIZACION. La tesis de una fuerte occidentalización de la gramática china durante el siglo 20 no es convencedora. La influencia de ciertas gramáticas puede haber sido determinante en la propagación o la resurrección de ciertas estructuras. En lo que concierne los factores que condicionan la influencia externa en gramática, su ausencia en el caso del chino explica que la occidentalización de la lengua fuera necesariamente limitada.

L'A. critique l'hypothese selon laquelle le proto-chinois devait etre une langue SOV, ainsi que le proto-sino-tibetain. Il montre qu'il existe de serieuses indications en faveur de l'hypothese inverse, a savoir que le chinois a toujours ete une langue SVO. Les exemples sont pris a la periode pre-archaique, a la periode haut-archaique et a la periode bas-archaique

There are three - and only three - mechanisms of grammatical change: Reanalysis (including the different aspects of grammaticalization), Analogy, and External Borrowing. These three mechanisms, implying processes of de-categorization, or generalization, or language contact, are described in detail. Examples are taken in typologically different languages. The motivations of grammatical change that could trigger off the mechanisms are the following: (i) semantic-pragmatic change (processes of metaphorization, of pragmatic inferencing or metonymyzation, of subjectification), (ii) typological extension, (iii) structural requirement, (iv) phonological change. The semantic-pragmatic change, related to conceptual change and different cognitive processes, is crucial.
