December 2010 ISBN 978 90 04 19452 6 Hardback (xx, 314 pp.) List price EUR 108.- / US$ 153. Brills Studies in the Indigenous Languages of the Americas; 3 One of the most complex topics in the study of the indigenous languages of the Americas, and indeed in the study of any language set, is the complex behaviour of multi-verb constructions. In many languages, several verbs can co-occur in a sentence, forming a single predicate. This book contains a first survey of such constructions in languages of North, Middle, and South America. Though it is not a systematic typological survey, the combined insights from the various chapters give a very rich perspective on this phenomenon, involving a host of typologically diverse constructions, including serial verb constructions, auxiliaries, co-verbs, phasal verbs, incorporated verbs, etc. Aikhenvalds long introduction puts the chapters into a single perspective.
