Dear Adam,

I can recommend David Gyorfi’s dissertation “Auxiliary verb constructions in Moden Spoken Kazakh”

Dear Adam,

Chinese resultative constructions may be a good case where it is coerced by the construction itself, at least as we have argued it (briefly, as it's not the main point of our paper) in Lai & Pang (2023):

Lai, Ryan Ka Yau & Michelle Man-Long Pang. 2023. Rethinking the description and typology of Cantonese causative–resultative constructions: a dynamic constructionist lens. Languages 8(2). 151. https://doi.org/10.3390/languages8020151.

In our analysis, the V1 is a dynamic and atelic verb and V2 is a dichotomous stative verb which is the end state of the V1, with the resulting complex predicate thus becoming dynamic and telic. In Section 3.3, we argue that even in those cases where the verbs do not inherently have these semantics (e.g. 'exceed'-comparative constructions and some phase constructions), they take them on when they form part of the construction.

Sincerely,
Ryan

Hello all,

I'm interested in combinations of lexical elements (serial verb
constructions or verb compound constructions or whatever) and whether there
is anything specific work which has described, classified or theorized
about these in terms of lexical aspect. I guess the question is:

When V1 combines with V2, what happens to the actionality class of the
combination? Is one just subordinated to the other or is there some way in
which the aspects of each are coerced?

I've seen a lot of discussions about how pieces of such constructions might
evolve into grammatical aspect markers (e.g. "finish" gradually becomes a
completive marker), but I wonder why there appear to be few descriptions of
the actionality classes of lexical combinations?


best,

Adam
