Abstract:
Serial verbs and complex predicates have a long history of research,
yet there is comparatively little documentation on Oceanic
languages. This volume presents new data for further typological
studies.
While previous research on serial verbs in Oceanic languages was
mostly devoted to "core" serial constructions (with non-contiguous
sV(o)sV(o) nuclei), this volume contributes a more detailed
investigation of the "nuclear" type of complex predicates involving
contiguous sVV(o) nuclei. Complex predicates of the form VV may
correspond to two different syntactic structures, either co-ranking or
hierarchized (head-modifier).
Though the VV pattern does evidence a tendency to-wards structural
compression, often entailing the fusion of the argument structures of
two or more nuclei, yet it cannot be reduced to cases of
co-lexicalization, com-pounding or grammaticalization.
The data also show the "nuclear" type to be compatible with all types
of basic word orders (VSO, VOS, SVO, SOV), with no evidence that this
results from any word order change. This challenges the claim that
"nuclear" serialization correlates with verb-final order, and "core"
serialization with verb-medial order.
