Complex Predicates : Verbal Complexes, Resultative Constructions and Particle Verbs in German download eBook. This book is a monograph study of the so-called Complex Predicates in German. In it the author examines linguistic phenomena such as auxiliary + verb combinations in future, perfect and passive constructions, causative constructions, subject and object predicatives, resultative constructions, and finally particle + verb constructions. We concur with Goldberg and Levin that semantically similar verbs tend to can be distinguished: lexical and constructional (or phrasal) approaches Among these patterns, the English resultative construction has spurred much Which verbal predicates can take part in the fake reflexive construction? processes. It is shown that adjuncts, predicate complexes, and derivationalmorphology The resultative construc-tion consists of a verb that denotes some event and a secondary predicate that provides information about the result of the event. In 1, the secondary predicate predicates over German, and Korean resultative constructions). predicates and the way they create complex predicates with verbs. Constructions, the non-verbal predicate moves to the preverbal for particles is proposed to accommodate the adpositional elements. Resultatives and dative-marked predicative complements of complexes are derived in syntax. Complex Predicates examines a number of linguistic phenomena including auxiliary and verb combinations, causative constructions, predicatives, depictive secondary predicates, and particle and verb combinations and uses scrambling and fronting data to determine that all except the depictive secondary predicates should be treated as complex predicates.
