Unused hardcover, still in publisher's original shrinkwrap. Shrinkwrap is torn revealing external handling wear to boards: small scuff-marks, a tiny tear to the tip of rear lower corner. Issued without a dust jacket. -- viii + 453 pages. This book provides a state of the art collection of constructional research on syntactic structures in German. The volume is unique in that it offers an easily accessible, yet comprehensive and sophisticated variety of papers. Moreover, various of the papers make explicit connections between grammatical constructions and the concept of valency which has figured quite prominently in Germanic Linguistics over the past half century. -- Trends in Linguistics is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that provide new insights by approaching language from an interdisciplinary perspective. Trends in Linguistics considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language. Trends in Linguistics publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing. -- Contents: Approaching German Syntax from a Constructionist Perspective / Hans C. Boas & Alexander Ziem; Part I: Grammatical Constructions and Valency -- Argument Structure of Psych-Verbs: A Quantitative Corpus Study on Cognitive Entrenchment / Stefan Engelberg; Case Alternation in Argument Structure Constructions with Prepositional Verbs: A Case Study in Corpus-Based Constructional Analysis / Klaas Willems, Ludovic De Cuypere & Jonah Rys; Valence Patterns, Constructions, and Interaction: Constructs with the German Verb erinnern ('Remember' / 'Remind') / Wolfgang Imo; Part II: Comparing Constructions in German and English -- Comparing Comparative Correlatives: The German vs. English Construction Network / Thomas Hoffmann; Argument Omissions in Multiple German Corpora / Josef Ruppenhofer; Part III: Prepositional Constructions in German -- Case for Caseless Prepositional Constructions with voller in German / Amir Zeldes; Constructions, Compositionality, and the System of German Particle Verbs with 'an' / Marc Felfe; Part IV: Constructional Productivity -- Type and Token Frequency Effects on Developing Constructional Productivity: The Case of the German sein 'Be' + Present Participle Construction / Karin Madlener; Frames, Verbs, and Constructions: German Constructions with Verbs of Stealing / Ryan Dux; Argument Structure Constructions Among German Prepositional Objects / Jouni Rostila; Author Index; Subject Index.…
