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 accou 410 0$aCreole language library ;$vv. 10. 606 $aCreole dialects, English$zCaribbean Area$xVerb phrase 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCreole dialects, English$xVerb phrase. 676 $a427/.9729 700 $aWinford$b Donald$0220787 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457418603321 996 $aPredication in Caribbean English Creoles$92149931 997 $aUNINA
