A serial verb construction with the verb alāku “go” in canaano-akkadian
Abstract: This paper examines the categorial status of Canaano-Akkadian biverbal sequences built around the motion verb alāku “go” and their possible inclusion in the category of Serial Verb Constructions (SVCs). The evidence demonstrates that SVCs with alāku can at best be categorized as non-canonical and their overall grammaticalization is low. As a result, Canaano-Akkadian may be viewed as the least advanced along the grammaticalization cline of verbal serialization posited for (North-West) Semitic languages.
