This construction is of interest because it raises questions for theories of basic linguistic categories, such as "verb", "compound", and "phrase". For present purposes, we adopt Butt's (2003) definition of a complex predicate. A complex predicate involves (a) two (or more) predicational elements, (b) which jointly predicate and (c) occur within a monoclausal structure (i.e., there is a single subject). | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Language Description, History and Development: Linguistic indulgence in memory of Terry Crowley, p. 209-219 | Publisher: | John Benjamins Publishing Company | Place of Publication: | Amsterdam, Netherlands | ISBN: | 9789027252524 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200408 Linguistic Structures (incl Grammar, Phonology, Lexicon, Semantics) | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 970120 Expanding Knowledge in Language, Communication and Culture | HERDC Category Description: | B1 Chapter in a Scholarly Book | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.benjamins.com/cgi-bin/t_bookview.cgi?bookid=CLL%2030 http://nla.gov.au/anbd.bib-an41249303 http://books.google.com.au/books?id=Ev3Ewu9UQmgC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA209 |
