- This 315-page monograph explores how languages differ in morphosyntactic expression of transition predicates, providing novel interpretations of Talmy's distinction between languages that express transition in the verb and those that express it via non-verbal elements. While the empirical focus is on Latin, of which it presents extensive new corpus-retrieved data, and Slavic, the monograph covers Romance, Germanic, Greek, Hebrew, Korean, Javanese, Finnish, Hungarian, Chinese. There is a small degree of overlap with the author’s 2017 paper ‘Latin datives with prefixed verbs and beyond’, which develops in depth an idea mooted in the book.
