This paper investigates emergent pseudo-coordination in spoken German. In a corpus-based study, seven verbs in the first conjunct are analyzed regarding the degree of semantic bleaching and the development of subjective or aspectual meaning components. Moreover, it is shown that each verb shows distinct tendencies for co-ocurrences, especially with deictic adverbs in the first conjunct and with specific verbs and verb classes in the second conjunct. It is argued that pseudo-coordination is originally motivated by the need for ‘chunking’ in unplanned speech and that it is still prominently used in this function in German, in contrast to languages in which pseudo-coordination is grammaticalized further.

The paper presents a study on the use of the complement-taking mental verb glauben (to believe) as a means to hedge utterances. One the basis of three large interview corpora, diatopic and diachronic differences in the particle-like use of first-person-forms (glaub(e)) are explored. By means of the results of the corpus analysis, the status of the ongoing grammaticalization process of glaub(e) as a modal particle is discussed.
