  • Multiple exponence

    Open AccessZorica Puškar-Gallien, Nicholas Rolle et al.ARTICLEMorphology2025References: 20

    This is an introductory paper to a special issue on Multiple Exponence. We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of empirical and theoretical aspects of the study of this phenomenon by identifying its potential causes, methods of empirical study, and the most recent formal approaches. We highlight various diachronic, synchronic, and language acquisition facets of multiple exponence, showing where we are in its study and where we feel we are goi…

  • Serial Verb Constructions

    Open AccessTonjes Veenstra, Pieter MuyskenOTHERThe Wiley Blackwell Companion to…2017

    Serial verb constructions are sequences of verbs that act together as a single predicate, without any overt marker of coordination, subordination, or syntactic dependency of any other sort. One key question that these constructions pose for grammatical theory is how their lexical and syntactic properties interact. On the one hand, they appear to be lexically determined. On the other hand, the individual verbs are clearly separate verbs assigning …

  • Code-Switching by Phase

    Open AccessLuis López, Artemis Alexiadou et al.ARTICLELanguages2017Cited by: 6References: 33

    We show that the theoretical construct "phase" underlies a number of restrictions on code-switching, in particular those formalized under the Principle of Functional Restriction (González-Vilbazo 2005) and the Phonetic Form Interface Condition (MacSwan and Colina 2014). The fundamental hypothesis that code-switching should be studied using the same tools that we use for monolingual phenomena is reinforced

  • Verb serialization and object position

    Open AccessTonjes VeenstraARTICLELinguistics2000Cited by: 3References: 9

    This paper discusses the phrase-structure configuration of resultative serial-verb constructions and the position of the object in these constructions. It is argued that the analysis involves a VP-shell configuration in which the second VP is an adjunct to the first VP (cf. Larson 1991). As such, serial-verb constructions are instances of pseudo-complementation, as defined in Seuren (1991). The object is part of the first predicate, and the argum…

  • The Creolization of Dutch

    Adrienne Bruyn, Tonjes VeenstraARTICLEJournal of Pidgin and Creole…1993

    The aim of this article is a systematic investigation of certain grammatical aspects of three languages that came about as by-products of colonial expansion of the Dutch during the seventeenth century: Afrikaans, Negerhollands, and Berbice Dutch. The discussion is centered on three grammatical features that have played an important role either in creolis-tics or in theoretical linguistics: TMA-marking, adpositional phrases, and passive constructi…
