| Riassunto: | The author demonstrates that the expression jusqu’à un certain point functions either as an “ endophrasal ” adverbial with quantifier or limitative values, either as an “ exophrasal ” adverbial used then to assess, from the outside, the adequacy or truth of an element of the predicate (narrow scope) or an entire statement (wide scope). Jusqu’à un certain point refers to the bottom of a scale, characteristic that predisposes to the function of co-concessive marker. The expression, initially a free prepositional phrase, acquires a modal value through a process of metaphoric transposition where space refers abstractly to definitional aspects that allow to use a particular term. |
