Book excerpt: This brief study applies the notion of a "construction" to preposition complementation patterns in English, and argues that Goldberg's formulation offers a helpful conceptual tool for analyzing prepositional patterns. Particular attention is given to alternative object control structures and the changes transitive verbs and intransitive verbs have undergone over time. Rudanko's credentials are not noted.
