Approaches to complex predicates edited by Léa Nash ; Pollet Samvelian Leiden Boston Brill 2016 295 p. ill. 24 cm Syntax & Semantics volume 41 0092-4563 könyv Includes bibliographical references and index Chapter 1. Introduction: Approaches to Complex Predicates (Nash and Samvelian) -- Chapter 2. From Adpositions to Events: The Case of Location Verbs in Basque (Berro) -- Chapter 3. Univerbation of Light Verb Compounds and the Obligatory Coding Principle (Creissels) -- Chapter 4. Variation and Grammaticalisation in Bantu Complex Verbal Constructions: The Dynamics of Information Growth in Swahili, Rangi and SiSwati (Gibson and Marten) -- Chapter 5. Tuning in to the Verb-Particle Construction in English (Goldberg) -- Chapter 6. Noun-Verb Complex Predicates in Hindi and the Rise of Non-Canonical Subjects (Montaut) -- Chapter 7. Malayalam Ceyy-Support and Its Relation to Event and Argument Structure (Paul) -- Chapter 8. Complex Predicates as Complementation Structures (Svenonius) -- Chapter 9. Complex Predicate Formation via Voice Incorporation (Wurmbrand) -- Index. Complex predicates can be loosely defined as a sequence of items that behave as a single predicate, projecting a single argument structure within a clause. 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.
