From Verbal Periphrases to Complex Predicates
by Camarero / Buendia et al Published by John BenjaminsPublished 2022.
This volume, which can be considered as a follow-up publication to Pusch & Wesch (2003), contains eleven studies on verbal periphrases in a wide array of Romance languages, both in a synchronic and in a historic perspective. Thus, this collective volume addresses the Romance verbal periphrastic system. The aim of the contributions is twofold: on the one hand, the authors intend to enrich the knowledge about the inventory of verbal periphrases of Romance languages, both in descriptive and analytical terms. On the other hand, the volume seeks to provide new insights for the study of the grammatical, pragmatic, and cognitive foundations of verbal periphrases, to enlarge our comprehension of their genesis, their evolution, and their usage. Languages treated in the contributions include Catalan, (European) French, Friulian, (European) Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish (both European and Latin-American), and Catalan Sign Language (LSC).
