description This paper proposes a diachronic analysis of the final but in a corpus of Northern English, a dialect where final particles represent a characteristic feature of the grammar. Recently, much emphasis was given to the study of but from a synchronic perspective in American and Australian English. This investigation closes the gap and is pursued in Northern English in the DECTE corpus, covering a 50 years’ span (1960-2010). The various semantico-pragmatic values are studied diachronically. It is shown that final but undergoes the process of paradigmaticization as it enters into the paradigm of final particles by enriching it with lexical and structural persistence. Besides, the subjective values are closely evaluated on Traugott and Dasher’s (2002) subjectivity cline.
