Serial Verb Construction vs Complex Predicates in Punjabi: An Integrated Analysis of Event Structure
Butt, Bisma; Khan, Muhammad Ajmal; Mahmood, Saqib; Hamid, Abdul; Hussain, Aadila – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2021
This study aims to analyze the syntax of serial verbs in the Punjabi language. The serial verb construction (SVC) is a widespread phenomenon across the world languages and in Punjabi as well.

Lardiere's keynote article adverts to a succession of "units of comparison" that have been employed in the study of cross-linguistic differences, including mid-twentieth-century structural patterns, generative grammar's parameters, and (within contemporary Minimalism) features. This commentary expands on the idea of units of cross-linguistic…
