Abstract
This paper deals with the emergence of a complex demonstrative pronoun in Rhine and Moselle Franconian, reinforced by a DP internal local adverb (e.g. der doo Ardiggel ‘that there article’). The grammaticalization process started out from the pronominal or anaphoric use of the demonstrative. Only in this case the demonstrative and the reinforcer are adjacent and formal mechanisms of grammaticalization can take effect.
