The one I'm aware of is the following:

@InProceedings{pullum90:_go_get,
  author = 	 {Pullum, Geoffrey K.},
  title = 	 {Constraints on intransitive quasi-serial verb
                  constructions in modern colloquial {E}nglish},
  booktitle = 	 {When Verbs Collide: Papers from the 1990 Ohio State
                  Mini-Conference on Serial Verbs},
  pages =	 {218-239},
  year =	 1990,
  editor =	 {Jospeh, Brian D. and Zwicky, Arnold M.},
  number =	 39,
  series =	 {OSU Working Papers in Linguistics}
}
