Beyond Alternations

By Josef Ruppenhofer and Laura A. Michaelis

Book Overview

Beyond Alternations provides a unified account of the semantic effects of the German applicative ("be-") construction. Using natural data from a variety
of corpora, the authors propose that this pattern is inherently meaningful and that its meaning provides the basis for creative extensions.
