&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;'''Subjectification''' is a [[diachronic]] process whereby an element or a construction develops new senses that require [[speaker]]-reference, i.e. that lead to [[subjectivity]] (e.g. Langacker 1990, Traugott 1995).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Example==&lt;br /&gt;
The development of [[epistemic]] senses of modal verbs such as English ''may'' from purely [[deontic]] senses is a prominent example of subjectification (Traugott 1989).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synonym==&lt;br /&gt;
A synonymous term is [[subjectivization]] (Stein &amp;amp; Wright 1995).&lt;br /&gt;
