An examination of the data provided by analysts in their discussions of complex predicates shows that monoclausality is the critical factor in determining whether a construction involves a complex predicate or not. Complex predicates are monoclausal structures involving two or more predicating morphemes. Butt (this volume) is explicit on this point. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Complex Predicates: Cross-linguistic Perspectives on Event Structure, p. 13-47 | Publisher: | Cambridge University Press | Place of Publication: | Cambridge, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9780521886673 0521886678 |
