The investigation identifies four major types of serial verb construction (SVC) in White Hmong and finds that the key function of all these types is to depict a single event in an elaborate and vivid way, a much-favoured method of description in this language. These findings concerning the nature and function of SVCs in White Hmong contribute to broader discussions on the nature of events as both cognitive and cultural constructs"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 White Hmong dialect|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85146480|xVerb phrase.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002006436 650 7 White Hmong dialect.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1174602 650 7 Grammar, Comparative and general|xVerb phrase.|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/946271 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJarkey, Nerida.|tSerial verbs in White Hmong|z9789004292406|w(DLC) 2015014547|w(OCoLC)904036736 830 0 Brill's studies in language, cognition and culture ; |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2013082686 |vvolume 12. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1001106|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
