Abstract
What distinguishes this chapter from the other survey chapters (the introductory chapter, Chapter 29 by Polinsky and Chapter 30 by Moroz & Polinsky) is that it summarizes the important points of the case studies that constitute this book in the perspective of the typology of applicative and related constructions. Its structure reflects that of the questionnaire, and it is basically conceived as a guide for readers looking for precise information on particular aspects of applicative constructions, with the help of which they will be able to select the case studies particularly relevant for the questions in which they are interested. However, we cannot possibly summarize here in an appropriate way all noteworthy features unearthed, systematized, or called into question by the authors of the individual chapters. Instead, we concentrate on some of the most interesting findings related to the non-canonical features of applicatives, as well as to the lookalikes.
