Abstrakt
Held in cooperation with Linguistics Prague conference. Grammars of most languages of the world employ various strategies to combine multiple verbs into a single clause.
This can be instantiated in what has been labeled auxiliary verb constructions, light verb constructions, serial verb constructions and otherwise. The purpose of this session is to discuss the possibility of establishing a cross-linguistic comparative concept which would cover multiverb constructions in general, covering all the types that have appeared in descriptions of different languages.
Thus we invite researchers to present contributions which either shed light on particular multiverb constructions in individual languages or attempt a cross-linguistic comparison of a multiverb phenomenon.
