| Research Question | German verbs with particles or prefixes in language change: Form, meaning, and syntax |
|---|---|
| Findings | Subject is mostly animate (~85%), and sometimes inanimate (~15%). Accusative object can fluctuate between a locality and things/persons, thus altering the interpretation of the construct. Intensifying function occurs when there's already a directional element present in the base verb. |
