Beyond Alternations

Laura Michaelis explores the intricate world of semantics in this insightful work, focusing on the German applicative and its broader implications. Through extensive analysis, she delves into how different linguistic alternations shape meaning, revealing the interplay between syntax and semantics in the German language.

By examining a variety of contexts and constructions, the author offers a comprehensive framework that not only illuminates the specifics of German applicatives but also contributes to the understanding of language more generally. This book serves as an essential resource for linguists interested in semantics, syntax, and the nuanced relationships that govern human communication.
