Particles: On the Syntax of Verb-particle, Triadic, and Causative Constructions (Oxford studies in comparative syntax) : on the syntax of verb-particle, triadic, and causative constructions

The author investigates the distribution and placement of verbal particles, which are words that do not change their form through inflection and do not fit easily into the established system of parts of speech. He analyses data from Norwegian, English, Dutch, German, and other languages.
