The aim of this book is to give the first large-scale typological investigation of
pluractionality in the languages of the world. Pluractionality is defined as the morphological
modification of the verb to express a plurality of situations that can additionally
involve a plurality of participants and/or spaces. Based on a 246-language sample,
the main characteristics of pluractionality are described and discussed throughout
the book. Firstly, a description of the functions that pluractional markers cross-linguistically
express is presented and the relationships occurring among them are explained through
the semantic map model. Then, the marking strategies that languages display to express
such functions are illustrated and some issues concerning the formal identification
are briefly discussed as well. The typological generalizations are corroborated showing
how pluractional markers work in three specific languages (Akawaio, Beja, Maa). In
conclusion, the theoretical conceptualization of pluractionality is discussed referring
to the Radical Construction Grammar approach
