Le costruzioni verbo-locativo in area romanza [PDF ebook] 
Dallo spazio all’aspetto

Verb-particle constructions are not only present in Germanic languages, but they are also found in Romance ones, particularly in some scarcely regulated varieties, such as old languages, dialects and substandard varieties. In this book a corpus of six hundreds of verbs+locative, taken from a Northern-Italian variety, is given and analyzed. The comparison with apparently analogous Germanic verb-particle constructions shows that the Romance ones are the result of an independent, gradual development, requiring ‑ in its final phase ‑ the expression of space (direction) and aspect (result) markers in the verb inflection.
