Michelle Troberg (Faculty, UTM) and Justin Leung (PhD Student) have a syntax article published in The Journal of Historical Syntax. Their paper "On the Unified Change of Directional/Aspectual Verb Particles in French" finds that historical French particles change at a constant rate, which is consistent with analysis whereby the loss of each particle is a reflex of an underlying grammatical change.
This is a can't-miss article for all our Frenchies and historical linguistic lovers!
