Description:The papers in this volume offer several analyses of verb serialization written within various theoretical grammatical, comparative and cognitive/functional. They cover a wide range of language families. All authors address two basic questions about verb 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 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.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
