摘要
This article argues for a fundamental structural similarity between Serial Verb Constructions, widely known from Kwa languages, and V-V compounds in Japanese. A major theoretical implication of the analysis is that it supports an analysis of clausal structure where the external argument is not included in the immediate projection of a verb but is introduced by another projection (Collins (1997a), among others). © 1998 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
