Definition
alternative strategies found with serial verb and auxiliary constructions, based on where the verbal inflections are located. There are several possibilities, including: inflection on the first verb (or inflection on the auxiliary); inflection on the last verb (or inflection on the main verb in an auxiliary construction); same inflection on both/all verbs/auxiliaries; inflection split across the two verbs (or verb and auxiliary); or separate inflection (the last relevant to basic eventive complex predicates only). (Sections 13.2, 13.3.2)
