Verbs' constructional patterns across languages

Welcome to our project!

This project is funded through the European Union funding – NextGenerationEU – Missione 4 Istruzione e ricerca - componente 2, investimento 1.1” Fondo per il Programma Nazionale della Ricerca (PNR) e Progetti di Ricerca di Rilevante Interesse Nazionale (PRIN)” progetto 20223XH5XM "Verbs’ constructional patterns across languages: a multi-dimensional investigation" CUP F53D23004570006 - Dipartimento Studi Umanistici (Università di Pavia).


Our project aims at investigating constructional patterns of verbs across languages. With our project, we aim to further develop both typological and diachronic comparisons of verb classes and their similar patterns in order to extract general coding tendencies in terms of argument structure constructions and valency patterns.
