Our analysis focuses on the basic coordinating particles (lat. et, aut, uel, at, sed) following their evolution from Late Latin towards Old French and Old Occitan. Coordinating particles take on “conversational implicatures” with temporal, causal, conditional, and concessive senses. All those functions are covered in Late Latin and in the Romance languages by the coordinating particle et, which replaces other coordinating markers. The Sabellian languages foreshadow the tendencies displayed by the Late Latin and Romance evolutions.
