Title: Complex predicate formation
Author/Creator: Baker, Brett; Harvey, Mark
Institution: The University of Newcastle. Faculty of Education & Arts, School of Humanities and Social Science
Description: The term ‘complex predicate’ has a wide usage, including, for example, serial verb constructions, light verb constructions, and particle + verb constructions, among others. An examination of the data provided by analysts in their discussions of complex predicates shows that monoclausality is the critical factor in determining whether a construction involves a complex predicate or not. Complex predicates are monoclausal structures involving two or more predicating morphemes.
