Valency in Verbs and Verb-Related Structures

The volume deals with valency phenomena in verbs and complex deverbal lexical structures (nominalizations, adjectivizations and synthetic compounds) in a variety of languages (English, Polish, Hungarian, Norwegian, Greek, Hebrew, Ga and Bantu languages). The proposed analyses are couched in lexically and syntactically driven approaches.

The volume deals with valency phenomena in verbs and complex deverbal lexical structures (nominalizations, adjectivizations and compounds) in a variety of languages (English, Polish, Hungarian, Norwegian, Greek, Hebrew, Bantu languages and the West African language Ga). The introduction offers an overview of valency related issues and up-to-date linguistic literature. The eleven contributions address specific problems, such as the interaction of valency with argument- and event-structure, properties of light verbs, impersonal constructions, antipassives, analogies between passivization and nominalization/adjectivization, effects of verbal prefixation, and synthetic compounds. The proposed analyses are couched in lexically and syntactically driven approaches.
