adverb incorporation

[Claire Bowern]

Stuart, are you distinguishing between adverb incorporation and complex
predication more generally? If not, there's a growing literature on complex
verb formation in Northern Australian languages (e.g. Bill McGregor's 2002
Mouton Book) which would include something that looks like this. But in this
case, adverbs are just one of a number of different word classes which do funky
stuff to argument structure.

Quoting Stuart Robinson <Stuart.Robinson at MPI.NL>:

> There is a great deal of typological literature on noun incorporation but
> there seems to be much less on adverb incorporation. I was hoping that
> people could steer me in the direction of a broad typological overview of
> adverb incorporation, if one exists. I would also be interested in
> language-specific treatments of the phenomenon. If there is enough of a
> response, I will gather together the references I receive and post a short
> bibliography. Thanks in advance.
