This volume provides a comprehensive examination of the valency properties of four English communication verbs. The author systematically analyzes their complementation patterns, establishing a connection between syntactic structures and underlying semantics.

The author also examines their deployment in adverbial clauses, detailing associated clause types and subordinators.
