Summary

It is the purpose of Chapter 3 to outline the semantic and syntactic properties of the CPs under investigation (Section 3.1 and Section 3.2) and to make clear that each of the CPs investigated in this study has a morphologically (and mostly semantically) related simpler verb counterpart in the paradigm (Section 3.3). The chapter is rounded off by a presentation of the three central hypotheses of this study (Section 3.4).
