The book falls in two\u003cbr\u003eparts. Part I addresses central theoretical issues: How is the co-eventive\u003cbr\u003einterpretation of such adjuncts achieved? What is the internal syntax of\u003cbr\u003eparticipial and converb constructions? How do these constructions\u003cbr\u003efunction at the discourse level, as compared to various finite structures\u003cbr\u003ethat are available for co-eventive elaboration? Part II takes an empirical\u003cbr\u003ecross-linguistic perspective. It consists of five self-contained chapters that\u003cbr\u003eare based on parallel corpora and study either the use of a specific\u003cbr\u003econstruction across at least two of the seven object languages, or how a\u003cbr\u003especific construction is rendered in other languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cathrine Fabricius-Hansen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48260926669051,"sku":"9783110285802","price":320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_4ef6b3db-7e69-4607-9402-98198d1a4271.jpg?v=1778451551","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/big-events-small-clauses-9783110285802","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
