The papers collected in this volume, which were presented at a workshop at Stanford in 1993, represent a variety of approaches to the question of the range and nature of complex predicates, and draw on data from a wide spectrum of languages. This collection develops a better understanding of the range of phenomena that a general theory of complex predicates would have to account for, and to see what kinds of linguistic ideas and methodologies would be necessary for such a task.Sun Oct 07 10:44:45 CEST 2007Amsterdam \& PhildadelphiaPidgins and Creoles: An Introduction289--301Creole Language LibrarySerial Verbs151995linguistics svc complex-predicates typology
