Verb-governed Infinitival Complementation in the Recent History of English
Author: Sofia Bemposta-Rivas
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783034344456
Category : Construction grammar
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
"This monograph deals with morphological, syntactic, semantic/pragmatic, discursive and textual variation between to- and bare-infinite (BI) verbal complementation in English. It investigates the reasons that lead certain verbs (specifically, dare, need and help) to opt for one solution or the other in the recent history of English. Non-finite complementation is a highly productive area of research (see Fanego 1996, 1998, 2004; Mair 2003: 329; Taeymans 2004 a, b, 2006; Schlüter 2005; Cuyckens and De Smet 2007; Loureiro-Porto 2009, 2010; Lohmann 2011; van der Auwera and Diewald 2012: 131; Levshina 2018). While there are numerous studies examining to-infinitive vs BI complementation from a syntactic, semantic or cognitive perspective (see Section 1.2), this volume is an attempt to provide a comprehensive analytic analysis of the possible grammatical, structural, semantic/pragmatic, processing, genre, period and identity-avoidance factors affecting to-infinitive/BI complement alternation"--

A Comparative Typology of English and German
Author: John A. Hawkins
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317419723
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
First published in 1986, this book draws together analyses of English and German. It defines the contrasts and similarities between the two languages and, in particular, looks at the question of whether contrasts in one area of the grammar is systematically related to contrasts in another, and whether there is any ‘directionality’ or unity to contrast throughout grammar as a whole. It is suggested that there is, and that English and German can serve as a case study for a more general typology of languages than we now have. This volume will be of interest to a wide range of linguists, including students of Germanic languages; language typologists; generative grammarians attempting to ‘fix the parameters’ on language variation;’ historical linguists; and applied linguists.
