Approaches to Complex Predicates
Résumé
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.
