Serial Verbs in Oceanic: A Descriptive Typology
Crowley, The late Terry (, formerly University of Waikato)
Though the construction is rare in English, the use of serial verbs is common in many languages. This book shows what serial verbs are, where they are found (particularly in the Oceanic languages of the Pacific), and how current theory accounts for them. The author argues that their formation is a consequence of contact between different languages.
