Contents:

Locative Alternation; Editorial page; Title page; LCC data; Dedication page; Table of contents; Chapter 1. Introduction; Chapter 2. Two previous analyses; Chapter 3. A lexical-constructional account of the locative alternation; Chapter 4. More on the location-as-object variant; Chapter 5. Another look at putative non-alternating cases; Chapter 6. The locative alternation and verb meaning; Chapter 7. Types of verb meaning and types of alternation; Chapter 8. Further issues; Chapter 9. The locative alternation with verbs of removal; Chapter 10. Morphologically complex cases.

Summary: The aim of the present volume is two-fold: to give a coherent account of the locative alternation in English, and to develop a constructional theory that overcomes a number of problems in earlier constructional accounts. The lexical-constructional account proposed here is characterized by two main features. On the one hand, it emphasizes the need for a detailed examination of verb meanings. On the other, it introduces lower-level constructions such as verb-class-specific constructions and verb-specific constructions, and makes full use of these lower-level constructions in accounting for alter.
