INTERFACE EXPLORATIONS
Series Editors: Artemis Alexiadou and T. Alan Hall

The series consists of collected volumes and monographs about specific
issues dealing with interfaces among the subcomponents of linguistic
structure: phonology-morphology, phonology-syntax, syntax-semantics,
syntax-morphology and syntax-lexicon.

Recent linguistic research has recognized that the subcomponents of
grammar interact in non-trivial ways. What is currently under debate
is the actual range of such interactions and their most appropriate
representation in grammar, which is the focus of this series.
Specifically, it aims to provide a general overview of various topics
by examining them through the interaction of grammatical
components. The books provide a state of the art report of research.

(Interface Explorations 1)

Germanic verb-particle combinations (e.g. ring up, German: anrufen,
Dutch opbellen) have engendered much controversy. This book collects a
representative cross-section of current research on the constructions,
providing a convenient and up-to-date introduction to the subject, and
shedding new light on the subject by gathering insights from various
linguistic subdisciplines (from psycholinguistics to pure
linguistics), various theories and methodological strategies
(e.g. Minimalism, Construction Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar)
and various languages (chiefly: Dutch, English, German and Swedish).
Theoretical studies have not reached consensus on the structure of
verb-particle combinations, with proposals ranging from the idea that
particles form a small clause with the direct object to approaches
assuming constituency for particle and verb, but disagreeing on
whether this structure is syntactically or morphologically
generated. Good arguments have been adduced for all these positions,
leading to various compromise solutions, as well as completely
different approaches. A solution to this issue would enrich
considerably our knowledge of grammar, and the crosslinguistic,
interdisciplinary approach taken in this book makes genuine progress
towards this goal.  Verb-particle combinations have been the subject
of much psycholinguistic work, with studies in acquisition, production
and perception. The discontinuous occurrence of particles and verbs
allows interesting insights into the relation between verbs and other
sentence constituents, and the cognitive processes required to bring
about the union of particle and verb. This volume scrutinises some of
the most prominent hypotheses on the comprehension of linguistic
material and provides an almost exhaustive survey on experiments using
verb particle constructions.
