Auxiliary Verb Constructions 2006 Oxford University Press.
ISBN: 0-19-928031-2 978-0-19-928031-2
A new approach to the study of complex predicates by Dr. Gregory
D. S. Anderson of Living Tongues Institute for Endangered
Languages is a benchmark for future research in typology. With a
sample of over 800 languages, the issue of how to construct a
valid index of a linguistic phenomenon across the world’s
languages appears to be resolved. This panchronic approach
discusses the full range of functional specialization of and
formal developments from two part phrasal constructs to verbal
affix that characterizes auxiliary verb constructions and
related complex predicate structure types (serial verb
constructions, medial verb forms, etc.). This book is written
for advanced graduate students of linguistics and professional
linguists. Auxiliary Verb Constructions is of particular
interest to specialists in historical linguistics, linguistic
typology, syntax, semantics, morphology, or grammaticalization.
