Composite Predicates in English: Processes of Specialization - Studies in English Language
Berlage, Eva (Universitat Hamburg)
This book explores the semantic-syntactic development of composite predicates (CPs) in English from the sixteenth to twentieth centuries. Large-scale corpus data reveal that the morphologically and semantically related simple verb (e.g. notice in the case of take notice of) works as a powerful predictor of the CP's semantic evolution.
