In the South Asian linguistic tradition, the closest analogue to the serial verb construction is often labeled a "compound" or "explicator compound" verb (Brown 1997; Burton-Page 1957; Hacker 1961; Hook 1974; Kachru and Pandharipande 1980; Nespital 1989), to some a subtype of "converb" construction or "conjunctive participial" (Bisang 1995 and references therein). Qualified use of the term "serialization" has occasionally been introduced (Kachru 1979; Kachru 1993; Pandharipande 1993; Steever 1989). However, a detailed comparative study of multi-verb constructions in e.g. South and Southeast Asian languages remains to be conducted. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society, 30(Special Issue), p. 377-390 | Publisher: | Berkeley Linguistics Society | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 0363-2946 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200408 Linguistic Structures (incl.
