Secondary Predication and Adverbial Modification: The Typology of Depictives

by Nikolaus P. Himmelmann (Editor), Eva F. Schultze-Berndt (Editor)

This is the first book to approach depictive secondary predication - a hot topic in syntax and semantics research - from a crosslinguistic perspective. It maps out all the relevant phenomena and brings together critical surveys and new contributions on their morphosyntactic and semantic properties.
