Full text not available from this repository.This chapter surveys the morphology, syntax, and semantics of applicativizing preverbs in English, German, Hungarian, and the Slavic and Baltic languages, with some comments on their non-applicativizing uses. Applicativizing preverbs may be particles or affixes, are transparently related to adverbs/adpositions with spatial and/or aspectual functions, and introduce a new participant to the clause (usually a direct object, occasionally an oblique argument, rarely an indirect object). The chapter pays special attention to English out-verbs and German be-verbs, which have semantics of a kind hitherto unattested outside Germanic; it also gives a detailed overview of the semantics of the relatively numerous Slavic and Baltic preverbs.
