Particle Verbs in English

A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explains why cognitive linguistics offers a plausible theoretical framework for a systematic and unified analysis of the syntax and semantics of particle verbs. It explores the meaning of the verb + particle syntax, the particle placement of transitive particle verbs, how particle placement is related to idiomaticity, and the relationship between idiomaticity and semantic extension. It also offers valuable linguistic implications for future studies on complex linguistic constructions using a cognitive linguistic approach, as well as insightful practical implications for the learning and teaching of English particle verbs.

Rezensionen

"Luo's Particle Verbs in English (henceforth PVIE) speaks up with a clear and confident voice. ...Overall, this book succeeds in highlighting the role of construal in accounting for the semantic and syntactic properties of the English particle verbs. ... PVIE is well organized and the writing is lucid in spite of occasional typos ... . This book will be of interest to linguists of many theoretical convictions beyond Cognitive Linguistics as well as to English language learners and teachers everywhere."
