Abstract:

Particle verbs (combinations of two words but lexical units) are a notorious
problem in linguistics. Is a particle verb like look up one word or two? It
has its own entry in dictionaries, as if it is one word, but look and up can
be split up in a sentence: we can say He looked the information up and He
looked up the information. But why can't we say He looked up it? In English
look and up can only be separated by a direct object, but in Dutch the two
parts can be separated over a much longer distance. How did such hybrid verbs
arise and how do they function? How can we make sense of them in modern
theories of language structure? This book sets out to answer these and other
questions, explaining how these verbs fit into the grammatical systems of
English and Dutch.
