The Syntax and Semantics of Middle Constructions: A Study with Special Reference to German - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics
Sarah M. B. Fagan
This study comprehensively describes and analyses the syntax and semantics of German reflexive constructions known as middles (e.g. Das Buch liest sich leicht 'The book reads easily'), including those formed with lassen 'let'. It provides an in-depth comparison of German middles and middle constructions in English and French, and the only detailed account written in English.
