		A coverb is a part of speech that includes words that are lexically verbs, but are generally used to convey the meaning of prepositions.
		The role of prepositions in Chinese is fulfilled by localizers appearing as postpositions, and by coverbs.
		In Chinese, both prepositions and coverbs are referred to as 介詞 (pinyin: jiè cí).

		A coverb (or converb) is a part of speech that includes words that are lexically verbs, but are generally used to convey the meaning of prepositions.

		One type of complex predicates, coverb-verb constructions, consists of a non-verbal element (often a so-called coverb) and an inflecting verb.
		Most verbs in Mosetén are complex predicates and consist of two conjoint elements: a coverb (or other non-verbal element) and an inflecting verbal stem marker.
		The verbal stem marker, belonging to a small closed class, carries the verbal inflection and contributes to the categorization of the event.

	An Experimental Study of Categoriality and Object Extraction in Cantonese Serial Verb Constructions
		The ‘coverb’ construction in Cantonese, a serial verb construction (SVC) in which the first verb (the ‘coverb’) has a preposition-like meaning and function, presents a challenging theoretical puzzle.
		In studies on Mandarin, such facts are typically explained in terms of a constraint on ‘preposition stranding’, whereby coverbs are analyzed as prepositions rather than verbs (Zhang 1990, McCawley 1992).
		In this paper, we report on an experimental study in which an acceptability rating task was used to compare coverbs with transitive verbs in SVCs in which the object of V1 is extracted.

		These coverb + light verb constructions have some unusual properties which have implications for formal theories of complex predication.
		For example, there is a mismatch between light verb valency and predicate transitivity, where apparently bivalent light verbs may form either intransitive or transitive complex predicates.
		In equivalent structures in more familiar languages (for example Italian) the coverb has been analysed as saturating one of the arguments of such verbs.

		Such stacking is also present in Turkish (similar to compound verb formation with gitmek, vermek, and olarak) and in the two other major languages of the Northeast Asia region, Korean and Japanese (Japanese grammar; Korean grammar).
		The verbs that typically convey the meaning of the associated prepositions are called coverbs.
		Because coverbs essentially function as prepositions, they are often referred to as prepositions, even though they are lexically verbs.

		One particular type of complex predicate involves a bipartite structure with a usually uninflecting ‘coverb’ (or ‘preverb’) and an inflecting ‘light verb’.
		Complex predicates are problematic for many theories of argument structure (see, for example, Ackerman and Webelhuth 1998), for example because of theta-role assignment from more than one place in the predicate.
		Central to these problems are whether the argument structure of the predicate as a whole results from the unification of information in the components of the predicate, or from the transfer of argument from the coverb to the light verb.

	Linguist List - Book Information
		Most frequently, coverbs are paired with an in=FEecting verb from a closed class to form a complex predicate: the coverb and in=FEecting verb jointly determine the verbal semantics and argument structure of the clause.
		This book provides a descriptive and analytical account of the behaviour of coverbs in Wagiman, especially their role in complex predicate formation.
		Wilson aims to discover what principles are at work in directing and constraining this process, and how the meaning of the whole is derived from the meanings of the parts.
