Complex Predications
Date: July 15, 2005
Time: 8am-10pm
Location: Harvard, Emerson 101

The purpose of the workshop is to compare current research on at least three different types of complex predicates, including the light verb type, the particle type, and the serial verb type. We hope to establish to what extent this tripartition accurately characterizes the possibilities for complex predicate types crosslinguistically, and to what extent they can be or should be unified.
