En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the syntax and semantics of prepositional complementation in contemporary English, this book explores patterns associated with the prepositions in, to, at, on, with, and of. Utilizing data from the Brown and LOB corpora, dictionaries, and native speaker intuitions, the author establishes taxonomies of matrix verbs, proposing that a limited number of core classes underlie their selection of complementation patterns. The work highlights the relationship between form and meaning, revealing how different complementation structures convey distinct semantic functions.
