Sommario/riassunto

The papers in this volume offer several analyses of verb serialization written within various theoretical frameworks: grammatical, comparative and cognitive/functional. They cover a wide range of language families. All authors address two basic questions about verb serialization: First, what is the structure and thematic constitution of the construction? The answers to this question cover the spectrum of the options that are available in current grammatical theory. Second, what aspect of the grammar differentiates between languages which have serial constructions and those which do not? The specific proposals made by the authors are discussed by R. Larson in the concluding paper. Larson opens new perspectives for research on verb serialization by posing the following question: what analogues for verb serialization can be found in the more familiar grammatical apparatus of English? It is suggested that verb serialization finds a clear parallel in the secondary predicate structures of English.

Sommario/riassunto

This book introduces engineering principles into the sport of rowing by the integration of rower biomechanics, stroke style, and blade hydrodynamics to improve the rowing performance in the sport. The book starts with an essential overview of rowing, covering its history, governing organizations, and the stroke phases. It looks into the biomechanical and hydrodynamic aspects, emphasizing different body segments and stroke styles contributing to rower performance. Key performance parameters are discussed, such as peak force, stroke rate, and hydrodynamic force. It also highlights the utilization of dynamic rowing simulators and specialized sensors to collect crucial



performance assessment and improvement data. By addressing the engineering aspects of the sport, the book offers the potential for performance enhancement, ultimately benefiting the rowing community and advancing sports science.
