Deconstructing Meaning : a semiotactic approach to gerundival constructions in English
In this work, I attempt to inventorise the various positions -ing forms can take in English sentences from a semiotactic perspective, focusing on the elusive semantics of the clausal gerund (e.g. Reading books is fun). It is hoped that this work will be a useful contribution to the active debate that still surrounds the clausal gerund, and that it will convince the reader of the versatility and usefulness of the semiotactic framework in analysing linguistic data.
