Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a syntactic and morphological analysis of English verb-particle constructions. We classify them into three types: the pure idiom type, the simple combination type, and the hybrid idiom type. For all three, we propose that V0 contains a domain where both morphological and syntactic rules can apply. In the first type, a verb and a particle form a complex verb, and the verbal portion can be overtly excorporated from within the V0-internal domain of the verb. In the second and third types, a particle can be overtly incorporated into the domain of a verb.
