This paper develops several hypotheses concerning the semanticpragmatic shifts that take place in the development of grammatical markers like prepositions, auxiliary verbs, or sentence connectives. It is shown that grammatical markers shift over time, from primarily referential to more pragmatic meanings, and, more specifically, that there is a potential unidirectionality in such meaning-shifts from propositional to textual to attitudinal meanings
