Book Synopsis Serial Verbs in Oceanic by : Terry Crowley
Book excerpt: Terry Crowley introduces the idea of serial verbs which are clauses that include multiple verbs or verb-like items that are used to convey a single meaning like wash the plates clean. The author argues that their formation is a consequence of contact between different languages.
