Particles as grammaticalized complex predicates 177
The order V – prt – NP shows this grammaticalization most clearly. The most
striking quirks of the complex predicate construction, as observed by Goldberg
and Jackendoff, i.e., unselected objects and idiomaticity (fixed combinations of
verb and predicate), are also shared by particle verbs. The conclusion that these
shared quirks are similarly the result of shared diachronic origins is problematic
because they appear late, in EModE, both in particle verbs as in complex predicates.
EModE seems to mark a significant point in the development of the particle
verb system in that the verbs participating in the combination are no longer restricted
to ‘light’ verbs but include deadjectival and denominal verbs, unergatives,
and ‘manner-of-motion’ verbs.
