“…As pointed out in Hopper and Traugott (2003: 175), the "development of markers of clause linkage" and complementisers, such as those in ( 4)- (7), has been attributed to the total or partial grammaticalisation of lexical items that led to the integration of initially separate clauses within larger main units, 3 where the embedded clause fulfils a syntactic function (Hamawand 2002: 1). Hamawand (2002) analyses clausal complementation as a type of subordination:…”

“…One longstanding urge has been to distinguish between infinitive and gerund‐participle constructions on the basis of their having specific versus general reference (e.g. Stannard 1947:196, Wood 1956:13, Zandvoort 1957:28, Scheurweghs 1959:205, Schibsbye 1970:63, Dirven & Taylor 1991:2, Roggero 2001:302, Hamawand 2002:281). According to this hypothesis, statements with the infinitive are suitable when reference is made to a specific occurrence and the gerund‐participle is used when reference is made to an occurrence in general (cf.…”

This paper investigates the variation between to‐infinitive and gerund‐participle complements with the verbs dread and fear. Specifically, it aims to explain the reasons underlying complement selection with these two verbs as well as a number of semantic effects which arise with these complement clause constructions. The approach taken here argues that an explanation of these constructions must be predicated upon an analysis of the semantic content of the items of which each one is composed. Three factors are proposed as being relevant to explaining the issues: (1) the meaning and function of the gerund‐participle, (2) the meaning and function of the to‐infinitive, and (3) the meaning of the main predicate. The findings of this study are in line with those of previous studies which have applied the same approach. This paper is intended as a small contribution to ongoing efforts to crack the complementation issue in English.

“…The construal theory is present in almost every area of a language. In Hamawand (2002), I applied it to the description of complement clauses in English. In Hamawand (2007Hamawand ( , 2008, I applied it to the description of prefixes.…”

The remit of this paper is to investigate the role of prefixes of spatiality in the formation of words. To do so, it adopts two approaches. Theoretically, it adopts Cognitive Semantics (CS) and tries to substantiate some of its tenets with reference to prefixation. One tenet is that linguistic items are meaningful. On this basis, it argues that prefixes of spatiality have a wide range of meanings that gather around a central sense. Another tenet is that the meaning of a linguistic item is best understood in terms of the domain in which it is embedded. On this basis, it argues that prefixes of spatiality form a set which highlights not only similarities but also differences. A further tenet is that the use of an expression is governed by the particular construal imposed on its content. On this basis, it argues that a derived word is used relative to the particular construal the speaker chooses to describe a situation. Empirically, it adopts Usage-based Linguistics, and tries to substantiate some of its prmises with reference to prefixation. One premise is that knowledge of language is derived from language use. Another premise is that the linguistic system is shaped by actual data. A further premise is that structure and substance are tightly linked.
