The English Change Network: Forcing Changes into SchemasWalter de Gruyter, 2013 M07 5 - 426 pages This book introduces the notion of change construction and systematically studies, within a Cognitive Grammar framework, the rich inventory of its instantiations in English, from well-known structures such as the so-called resultative construction to a variety of largely ignored types such as asymmetric resultatives, sublexical change constructions and mildly causal constructions. |
