Description

Explore a groundbreaking linguistic study with Verb-Verb Complexes in Asian Languages from Oxford University Press. This volume provides the first detailed survey of verb-verb complex systems across various Asian languages, offering deep insights from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. The text focuses on the unique class of compound verbs found in many Asian languages. These consist of a main verb paired with a quasi-auxiliary verb, often referred to as a 'vector' or 'explicator'. By examining these elements, the book clarifies how these quasi-auxiliary verbs function with a grammatical status that sits between full lexical verbs and reduced auxiliaries. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the semantic uniqueness that occurs when these verbs combine with main verbs. This scholarly work is an essential resource for linguists and researchers studying the structural and historical evolution of verbal systems in Asian linguistic contexts.
