Objectives: The purpose of this article is to study the relationship between the verb /tɔ̀:/ with the meaning 'to appear after a reference' and the adverb /tɔ̀:/ with the meaning 'indicate the continuity of events'.
Methods: The data has been collected from documents from the 20th to the 26th Buddhist century, afterwards, I study the relationship between the verb /tɔ̀:/ with the meaning 'to appear after a reference' and the adverb /tɔ̀:/ with the meaning 'indicate the continuity of events' employing cognitive semantics and grammaticalization.
Results: The findings reveal that the verb /tɔ̀:/ with the meaning 'to appear after a reference' transforms into the adverb /tɔ̀:/ with the meaning 'indicate the continuity of events'. This phenomenon is affected by grammaticalization, involving semantic processes such as metonymy and syntactic transformation mechanisms such as reanalysis.
Application of the study: The research results can be applied to studying of language change in diachronic approaches. The analysis of semantic and syntactic contexts may be essential for considering the meanings of other words.
