Composite Predicates in English

Composite Predicates in English

Processes of Specialization

Inhalt

This book explores the semantic-syntactic development of composite predicates (CPs) in English from the sixteenth to twentieth centuries. Large-scale corpus data reveal that the morphologically and semantically related simple verb (e.g. notice in the case of take notice of) works as a powerful predictor of the CP's semantic evolution.
