Serial verb construction

The serial verb construction, also known as (verb) serialization or verb stacking, is a syntactic phenomenon in which two or more verbs or verb phrases are strung together in a single clause.^[1] It is a common feature of many African, Asian and New Guinean languages. Serial verb constructions are often described as coding a single event;^[2]^[3] they can also be used to indicate concurrent or causally-related events.
