Resultative-object sentences are a type of sentence defined according to the semantic relationship between the verb and the object. Using theories of modern lexical semantics and cognitive semantics, this book conducts a systematic study of the syntactic and semantic features of the resultative-object sentences and is therefore valuable to the studies of linguistics and applied linguistics.
