Omschrijving
The book explores finite and nonfinite clausal verb complementation in present-day World Englishes from a corpus-based perspective. It provides an assessment of the influence of language contact, simplicity and transparency, geographical proximity, and evolutionary phase on this alternation and an account of new verb complementation structures.
