Each of the members of the predicate contributes part of the information ordinarily associated with a single head. The present volume presents a collection of theoretical linguistic results on the study of complex predicates in different perspectives and with a variety of approaches. Important empirical and theoretical issues cutting across various subfields of linguistics are being addressed in this book, such as : • Syntactic and semantic modeling of complex predicate formation: compositionality, argument structure, event structure. • Differences between syntactic and morphological processes of lexeme formation. • Typological and diachronic issues in complex predicate formation. • Neo-Davidsonian analyses of abstract predicate decomposition and its morphological correlates Contributors are: Ane Berro, Denis Creissels, Hannah Gibson, Adele Goldberg, Lutz Marten, Annie Montaut, Léa Nash, Pooja Paul, Pollet Samvelian, Peter Svenonius, and Susanne Wurmbrand.Syntax and Semantics41.Grammar, Comparative and generalVerb phraseGrammar, Comparative and generalSyntaxGrammar, Comparative and generalVerb phrase.Grammar, Comparative and generalSyntax.415/.6Nash Léa1787354Samvelian Pollet1787355NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910973155203321Approaches to complex predicates4320745UNINA
