Abstract:

This volume brings together corpora that span more than 3,000 years of
the history of the Greek language, from Ittzés' chapter on the
proto-language to Giouli's chapter on the modern language. The authors
take wider or narrower approaches with regard to the form and function
of the type of construction that they include in the group of
support-verb constructions: while all would agree that English to take
initiative is a support-verb construction, opinions differ on English
to take wing. The chapters reflect a fascinating diversity of
approaches to support-verb constructions, including Natural Language
Processing, Comparative Philology, New Testament Exegesis, Coptology,
and General Linguistics. The volume is structured along the three
interfaces that support-verb constructions sit on, the syntax-lexicon,
the syntax-semantics, and the syntax-pragmatics interfaces. We finish
with four concrete avenues for further research. Faced with the
diversity of approaches and the magnitude of disagreements arising
from them when working with as internally diverse a group of
constructions as support-verb constructions, we strive for in
varietate unitas.
