The contributions in this book are a representative cross-section of recent research on verb-particle constructions. The syntactic, semantic, morphological, and psycholinguistic phenomena associated with the constructions in English, Dutch, German, and Swedish are analyzed from the various different theoretical viewpoints.

This study investigates a model of syntactic derivations that is based on a new concept of dislocation, i.e., of 'movement' phenomena. Derivations are conceived of as a compositional process that constructs larger syntactic units out of smaller ones without any phrase-structure representations, as in categorial grammars. It is demonstrated that a simple extension of this view can account for dislocation without gap features, chains, or structural transformations. Basically, it is assumed that movement 'splits' a syntactic expression into two parts, which form a derivational unit but enter...

Die Fahigkeit, Worter zu flektieren, ist Teil der menschlichen Sprachfahigkeit. Wie ist diese Fahigkeit in Kognition und Gehirn verankert bzw. wie ist Flexion im grammatischen Wissenssystem reprasentiert? Wohl kaum eine Frage hat ahnliche Kontroversen sowohl in der theoretischen Linguistik (morphem- vs. wortbasierte morphologische Theorien, starker vs. schwacher Lexikalismus) als auch in der Psycho- bzw. Neurolinguistik (Speicherung oder Berechnung flektierter Formen) und den Kognitionswissenschaften allgemein (symbolmanipulierende Operation vs. assoziatives Lernen) ausgelost.

Die Arbeit beinhaltet die korpusbasierte Analyse und Beschreibung der durch Suffixableitung geleisteten verbalen Wortbildung des Mittelhochdeutschen unter funktionalem Aspekt. Im Vordergrund stehen die Ermittlung der synchronen Motivationsbeziehung eines Verbs zu seiner vorausliegenden Basis und die Zuordnung der als motiviert beschreibbaren Bildungen zu Ableitungsmustern. Im ersten Analyseteil wird das System suffixaler Wortbildung holistisch beschrieben und der Affixbestand exemplarisch anhand ausgewahlter oberdeutscher Landschaften aufgefuhrt. Hier wird das Zusammenwirken des...

By integrating novel developments in both contact linguistics and morphological theory, this volume pursues the topic of borrowed morphology by recourse to sophisticated theoretical and methodological accounts. The authors address fundamental issues, such as the alleged universal dispreference for morphological borrowing and its effects on morphosyntactic complexity, and corroborate their analyses with strong cross-linguistic evidence.
