Abstract:

This thesis examines the range of variation regarding the pragmatic, semantic,
morphosyntactic, phonological and lexical properties of incorporation
constructions, focusing specifically on constraints on the variation. The
thesis starts out with a review of the pragmatic, semantic and phonological
variation in incorporation described in previous literature and the relevant
constraints that can be formulated on the basis of earlier research. This
review is followed by three in-depth studies of particular domains of
morphosyntactic, pragmatic-semantic and lexical variation in incorporation.
These domains of variation are analyzed based on data from a varied sample of
languages. The morphosyntactic domain investigated concerns the possible
morphosyntactic forms of incorporated elements. The pragmatic and semantic
properties that are examined are the referentiality and modifiability of
incorporated nouns respectively. With respect to the lexical properties of
incorporation, the thesis addresses the question which types of verbs do and
do not allow the incorporation of nouns. Finally, it is shown that the
different theoretical accounts of incorporation proposed in the literature are
only partly able to capture or predict the variation and constraints presented
in this thesis. The thesis thus indicates that theoretical work on
incorporation may generally benefit from paying more attention to the full
range of variation in incorporation constructions and its constraints.
