| May 21, 2015 at 14:29 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | I came across the online excerpts while looking for support for my dislike of classifying say 'it weighed a ton' / 'the book had a hefty price tag' / 'mark time' as V + DO constructions. John Lawler here has given analysis on V + measure phrase constructions [see 'Is this a direct object or predicate complement?']. See also Is the “live” in “He only lived a few days after the accident” intrasitive or transitive?. | |

| May 21, 2015 at 0:42 | comment | added | F.E. | I'm wondering about maybe getting that book, but 800 pages, and $250 USA, er, and then there's the paperback at $50 USA, but I'm fearing that the binding will break too easily (I've experienced that before!). It is 2008 published, … but, er, have you read parts of it? How does it compare in your opinion to other established stuff out there? What I mean is, does it have "new" info? Or is it mostly known stuff in other publications that's been mostly only repackaged? | |
| May 21, 2015 at 0:37 | comment | added | F.E. | I followed this link from that other thread, and so, I guess this comment might be more appropriate here. That is:: That book there that you linked to (The Handbook of English Linguistics), isn't Bas Aarts and Linda McMahon editors? And that page 162 you linked to, is that a chapter ("Verbs and Their Satellites") authored by D.J. Allerton? So, that would be Allerton's position, I'm assuming. I'm wondering if Bas Aarts actually endorsed Allerton's position somewhere in that book? | |
