Argument realisation in complex predicates and complex events : verb-verb constructions at the syntax-semantic interface /
This book offers a comprehensive investigative study of argument realisation in complex predicates and complex events at the syntax-semantic interface across a wide variety of the world's languages, ranging over languages such as German, Irish, Sicilian and Italian, Lithuanian, Estonian and oth...
