Idiomatic verb-clitic constructions: lexicalization and productivity

Francesca Masini

Abstract

In her paper, Francesca Masini <ι>(Idiomatic verb-clitic constructions: from lexicalization to productivity) proposes a constructionist analysis of verb-clitic combinations in Italian that are characterized by non-compositional semantics and structural fixedness. Although most of these formations are the result of lexicalization, she shows that one verb-clitic combination has developed into an independent semi-specified and semi-productive construction with emphatic meaning.
