Whackamolee Q: @'''go see''' Traditionally, the term serial verb construction refers to a sequence of verbs or verb phrases in a sentence in which there is no intervening conjunction. The English expression go eat, for example, might be considered as a kind of serial verb construction since there is no infinitive or other morphosyntactic marker present

Whackamolee : to indicate a coordinating or subordinating relationship between the two verbs go and eat. English is traditionally termed as a non-serial language; however, this does not suggest that in English there is no serial verb construction (SVC).

Dawnd : nghĩa là dạng: go + V = go and V?

OpenIDUser5329 : thanks Whack!

Dawnd : thank you ạ!:)

Whackamolee : Nghĩa là go see, go play là OK và áp dụng cho '''informal American''' English. Written thì go and eat, go to eat không mất điểm. SVC giới hạn với một số verbs (chỉ thấy go là thí dụ).

OpenIDUser5329 : yeap, văn viết go see sẽ là: go and see; go play sẽ là: go and play , thanks!

Whackamolee : Linguistic definition: A serial verb construction is a string of verbs or verb phrases within a single clause that '''1.''' express simultaneous or immediately consecutive actions '''2.''' have a single grammatical subject '''3.''' have no connective markings

Whackamolee : Tiếng Việt mình là serial language. Đi ăn, đi ngủ, đi học. Tiếng Anh như ở trên viết là non-serial, nhưng usage và structure vẫn understandable và popular for use (American English mostly)

OpenIDUser5329 : hay lắm, you are very thorough!!!!
