Abstract:

In Serial Verbs in White Hmong Nerida Jarkey investigates verb serialization,
a highly productive grammatical strategy in this dynamic Southeast Asian
language in which multiple verbs are simply concatenated within a single
clause to depict a single event. The investigation identifies four major types
of serial verb construction (SVC) in White Hmong and finds that the key
function of all these types is to depict a single event in an elaborate and
vivid way, a much-favoured method of description in this language. These
findings concerning the nature and function of SVCs in White Hmong contribute
to broader discussions on the nature of events as both cognitive and cultural
constructs.
