Particles are words that do not change their form through
inflection and do not fit easily into the established system of
parts of speech. Examples include the negative particle "not," the
infinitival particle "to" (as in "to go"), and do and let in "do
tell me" and "let's go." Particles investigates the constraints on
the distribution and placement of verbal particles. A proper
understanding of these constraints yields insight into the
structure of various secondary predicative constructions. Starting
out from a detailed analysis of complex particle constructions, den
Dikken brings forth accounts of triadic constructions and Dative
Shift, and the relationship between dative and transitive causative
constructions--all of them built on the basic structural template
proposed from complex particle constructions. Drawing on data from
Norwegian, English, Dutch, German, West Flemish, and other
languages, this book will interest a wide audience of students and
specialists.
