Know about the book -
A Constructional Approach to Resultatives is written by Hans Christian Boas and published by Stanford Univ Center for the Study. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1575864088 (ISBN 10) and 9781575864082 (ISBN 13).
Providing a unified solution within the frameworks of Construction Grammar and Frame Semantics, Hans Boas develops an account of resultative constructions in English by grouping them in two classes: conventionalized and non-conventionalized. The usage-based model used here proposes that each particular sense of a verb constitutes a conventionalized mini-construction, which is crucial information for the licensing of arguments. In contrast, verbs in non-conventionalized resultative constructions can acquire a novel meaning and thereby a new syntactic frame. English and German resultatives are compared to illustrate the distinct lexical polysemy networks of English and German verbs.
