L’article décrit les divers contextes dans lesquels le démonstratif éloigné de classe 16 ‘vale’ est employé en makhuwa. La diversité synchronique de sa distribution suggère que le pronom a suivi un développement diachronique du type suivant : à partir d’un démonstratif locatif, il a glissé du domaine spatial au domaine temporel comme indicateur d’une séquence temporelle pour ensuite devenir un marqueur de l’hypothétique dans certaines propositions conditionnelles. Un résultat supplémentaire de ce processus de grammaticalisation pourrait être l’emploi de vale dans des contextes qui paraissent marquer la supposition.
