The book offers a comprehensive, unified treatment of the core areas of CEC predication, including the verb complex, auxiliary ordering, voice and valency, copular and attributive predication, serial verb constructions and complementation. Particularly note-worthy is its utilization of an extremely rich data base and a variety of sources to provide an up-to-date, state of the art accouCreole language library ;10.Creole dialects, EnglishCaribbean AreaVerb phraseCreole dialects, EnglishVerb phrase.427/.9729Winford Donald220787MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811198503321Predication in Caribbean English Creoles4115155UNINA
