Particles - On the Syntax of Verb-Particle, Triadic and Causative Constructions

Dikken's book should be appreciated and also recommended to linguists not working within the Chomskyan paradigm, first because of the elaborate character of the author's analysis, and second, by virtue of the unusual lucidity of his exposition.
