The contributions in this book are a representative cross-section of recent research on verb-particle constructions. The syntactic, semantic, morphological, and psycholinguistic phenomena associated with the constructions in English, Dutch, German, and Swedish are analyzed from the various different theoretical viewpoints.

This book offers a new account of the transitive particle verb construction in English. The main emphasis is on the alternation between the two word orders possible in English (continuous: hand in the manuscript vs. discontinuous: hand the manuscript in). The central aim is to show that the choice of the word order is not optional as has often been claimed in related literature on the topic and that a syntactic analysis should thus not be based on optional movement operations or optional feature selection. The author argues in some detail that the choice of the word order is determined to a great extent by the information structuring of the context in which the relevant construction is embedded. The syntactic structure she develops is based on a substantial combination of empirical facts, evidence from theoretical research and the results of two experimental studies on the intonation patterns of the construction.

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.

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, University of Wuppertal, language: English, abstract: Introduction Verb-Particle Constructions occur in “most, if not all, of the Germanic languages” (Dehé: 2002:1, Olsen 2000:149). They are also known as “verb-particle combinations”, “phrasal verbs”, “particle verbs” (PVs) or “separable (complex) verbs” (cf. Dehé ibid., cf. Dehé, Jackendoff, McIntyre, Urban 2002:1). VPCs formally consist of “a verbal stem and an intransitive prepositional or adverbial element”, a so-called particle (Olsen 2000:149). In linguistic research, “there is no uncontroversial definition of particles which reliably demarcates them from similar items and has cross-linguistic validity” (Dehé et al. 2002:3) [...] According to Dehé (2002), “the perhaps most striking property of transitive PV’s in English is their appearance in two alternating orders“ (3) as the English particle “can appear on either side of a direct object, unless it is a (non-contrastively accented) pronoun” (Dehé et al. 2002:2, cf. Jackendoff ibid.). In the so-called continuous order the particle is “adjacent to the verb and precedes the DP-complement” as in (1) (Dehé 2002:3-4). In the discontinuous order “the particle follows the DP-object” (cf. 2) (ibid.). In this order the use of unstressed pronouns is obligatory as illustrated in (3) (ibid.; the following examples are borrowed from Dehé:ibid. as well). (1) He wiped off the table. (2) He wiped the table off. (3) a. He wiped it off. b. *He wiped off it. Concerning the syntactic structure of English VPCs, several questions might be asked: 1. How does the syntactic structure of VPCs in English look like? 2. How do the alternating word orders come about? 3. Which of the word orders is the underlying one? Linguists have developed many different approaches to the syntactic structure of VPCs. This paper is going to focus attention on three different syntactic analyses for English VPCs and attempts to answer the questions posed above. Before presenting the different approaches, some basic characteristics of English VPCs will be introduced. Afterwards, the approaches, namely the Small Clause analysis according to Kayne (1985) and two different complex head analyses by Johnson (1991) and Dehé (2002), will be elucidated and discussed.

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: Good, University of Hamburg (Anglistics/ American Studies), language: English, abstract: Die Phrasal Verbs des Englischen bestehen aus einer Einheit von Verb und adverbialem Partikel. Dieser Partikel kann vor oder hinter dem direkten Objekt stehen. Mit wissenschaftlichen Berechnungen lässt sich nun herausfinden, wann der Partikel vor, und wann er hinter dem Objekt steht. Wie in den meisten Fällen gibt es keine absoluten Regeln, aber Tendenzen können aufgedeckt werden.

This book offers a new account of particle verbs in German and Dutch by looking at the conditions under which a non-morphological structure may exhibit word-like properties. It shows that although particles are represented as phrasal complements of their verbs, they lack the functional structure which is usually associated with phrases. The author uses the concept of a local domain, which can be established by terminal nodes both in syntax and in morphology, to demonstrate why the impoverished syntactic structure of particle verbs shares important features of complex words derived in morphology. The analysis is substantiated through a detailed study of the syntactic, semantic, and morphological properties of particle verbs. Special attention is given to the relevance of local domains for the association of lexical information about sound and meaning with terminal nodes in morphological and syntactic structures.

Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 2.0, , language: English, abstract: In this term paper the syntactic structure of verb particle constructions got analyzed. At first the verb particle constructions are introduced. The term paper mainly is about the syntactic structure of English verb particle constructions and which of the word order is the underlying one. The main focus on two different proposals of the syntactic structure of verb particle constructions and each of them have a different outcome.

This is the first volume specifically dedicated to competition in inflection and word-formation, a topic that has increasingly attracted attention. Semantic categories, such as concepts, classes, and feature bundles, can be expressed by more than one form or formal pattern. This departure from the ideal principle "one form – one meaning" is particularly frequent in morphology, where it has been treated under diverse headings, such as blocking, Elsewhere Condition, Pāṇini's Principle, rivalry, synonymy, doublets, overabundance, suppletion and other terms. Since these research traditions, despite the heterogeneous terminology, essentially refer to the same underlying problems, this volume unites the phenomena studied in this field of linguistic morphology under the more general heading of competition. The volume features an extensive state of the art report on the subject and 11 research papers, which represent various theoretical approaches to morphology and address a wide range of aspects of competition, including morphophonology, lexicology, diachrony, language contact, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics and language acquisition.
