Abstract:
This book offers a comprehensive investigative study of the argument
realisation of the concepts of causative purpose, permit, let/allow and
transfer in a broad cross-linguistic typologically diverse mix of languages
with GIVE, GET, TAKE, PUT, and LET verbs. This volume stands as the first
systematic exploration of these verbs and concepts as they occur in complex
events and clauses. This book brings together scholars and researchers from a
variety of functionally inspired theoretical backgrounds that have worked on
these verbs within one language or from a cross-linguistic perspective. The
objective is to understand the linguistic behaviour of the verbs and their
inter-relationships within a contemporary cognitive-functional linguistic
perspective. The languages represented include Irish, German, Slavic (West
Slavic: Polish, Czech, Slovak and Sorbian and Western South Slavic: Slovenian
and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian), Germanic, Romance, Gan Chinese Yichun dialect,
Māori, Bohairic Coptic, Shaowu Chinese, Hebrew, English, Lithuanian, Estonian,
the Australian dialects Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara, Italian, and
Persian. Topics discussed include argument structure and the encoding of
arguments under causation, permission and transferverbs, their lexical
semantics and event structure.
