Verb Valency Patterns: A Challenge for Semantics-Based Accounts (Topics in English Linguistics)

Verb Valency Patterns: A Challenge for Semantics-Based Accounts (Topics in English Linguistics) by Susen Faulhaber
English | Apr. 28, 2011 | ISBN: 3110240718 | 357 Pages | PDF | 1.8 MB

Based on an empirical study of English verbs, the author discusses to what extent complementation is predictable from meaning by examining whether semantically similar verbs also exhibit the same syntactic properties. The significant number of idiosyncrasies presented rigorously challenge approaches that assume meaning to be the determining force in complementation.
