Valency in Verbs and Verb-Related Structures, Hardback Book

Valency in Verbs and Verb-Related Structures Hardback

Edited by Anna Malicka-Kleparska, Maria Bloch-Trojnar

Part of the Sounds - Meaning - Communication series

Hardback

Description

The volume deals with valency phenomena in verbs and complex deverbal lexical structures (nominalizations, adjectivizations and compounds) in a variety of languages (English, Polish, Hungarian, Norwegian, Greek, Hebrew, Bantu languages and the West African language Ga).

The introduction offers an overview of valency related issues and up-to-date linguistic literature.

The eleven contributions address specific problems, such as the interaction of valency with argument- and event-structure, properties of light verbs, impersonal constructions, antipassives, analogies between passivization and nominalization/adjectivization, effects of verbal prefixation, and synthetic compounds.

The proposed analyses are couched in lexically and syntactically driven approaches.
