Description

This comprehensive volume offers the first detailed survey of verb-verb complex systems across Asian languages, examining both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. The book explores the unique class of compound verbs found in many Asian languages, which combine a main verb with a quasi-auxiliary verb known as a vector or explicator. These quasi-auxiliary verbs demonstrate intermediate grammatical status between full lexical verbs and wholly reduced auxiliaries, displaying distinctive semantic properties when combined with main verbs. The study provides essential insights into the structural patterns and linguistic behaviour of these complex verb formations, making it an indispensable resource for linguists, language researchers and scholars investigating verb systems across Asian languages and comparative grammatical analysis.

Key Features

Verb-Verb Complexes in Asian Languages presents the first comprehensive synchronic and diachronic survey of compound verb systems across multiple Asian language families.

The volume examines quasi-auxiliary verbs known as vectors or explicators, which occupy a unique grammatical position between full lexical verbs and reduced auxiliaries.

Oxford University Press publication provides scholarly analysis of how main verbs combine with quasi-auxiliary verbs to create semantically distinctive verb formations.

This book serves as an essential reference for linguists studying cross-linguistic patterns in Asian language verb morphology and complex predicate structures.
