本文通过对复合动词构成的研究，试图找出和澄清一个基本动词变成复合动词的方式(S)。作者仔细考虑了这个问题的句法和词法两个方面，在这样做的过程中，从非常不同的语言中收集了大量的数据来支持关于句法和形态结构之间关系的主张。
这项工作采取了激进的立场，大多数数据要么承认句法(短语结构)，要么允许进行词汇分析，因为两者都可能是有效的--在不同的情况下。为了说明这两种方法的互补性，并确定哪种方法对一组给定的数据更好，这两种方法都得到了一贯的辩护。
把他的分析放在历史语言学的语境中，作者认为有必要承认词汇化的可能性。这本书关注了许多不同的观点，40页的参考书目进一步增强了它的价值。米勒对词汇分解问题、词法与句法的关系、动词论元结构的编码等问题的深刻处理，使这项工作对语法学家和词形学家都具有极其重要的意义。
This investigation of complex verb formation seeks to identify and clarify the way(s) in which a base verb becomes 'complex'. The author carefully considers both the syntactic and the morphological side of this question, and in doing so brings a wealth of data from very diverse languages to bear on claims made about the relationship between syntactic and morphological structure.
The work takes the radical position that most data admit of either a syntactic (Phrase Structure) or lexical analysis because both are likely to be valid — under different circumstances. Both approaches are consistently defended in an attempt to illustrate the complementarity of the two and ascertain which is the better formulation for a given set of data.
Placing his analysis firmly in the context of historical linguistics, the author shows that it is necessary to admit the possibility of lexicalization. The book pays attention to many alternative viewpoints, and its value is further enhanced by a 40-page bibliography. Miller's insightful treatment of questions of lexical decomposition, the relationship of morphology to syntax, and the encoding of argument structure on verbs make this a work of the utmost importance for syntacticians as well as morphologists.
