{"product_id":"9781575864075","title":"A Constructional Approach to Resultatives","description":"\u003cp\u003eProviding a unified solution within the frameworks of Construction Grammar and Frame Semantics, Hans Boas develops an account of resultative constructions in English by grouping them in two classes: conventionalized and non-conventionalized. The usage-based model used here proposes that each particular sense of a verb constitutes a conventionalized mini-construction, which is crucial information for the licensing of arguments. In contrast, verbs in non-conventionalized resultative constructions can acquire a novel meaning and thereby a new syntactic frame. English and German resultatives are compared to illustrate the distinct lexical polysemy networks of English and German verbs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Center for the Study of Language and Inf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055075344624,"sku":"9781575864075","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781575864075","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
