incorporation of serial verbs
a.k.a. morphological boundness of serial verbs
alternative strategies found with serial verb and auxiliary constructions, whether they form a single word or not. Example: in Alamblak yĕnt mi-ak-tita-r-t He carried the girl down there on his shoulders, the verbs ak get and tita carry on shoulders form a single word. Noun incorporation refers to a strategy found in other constructions. (Sections 13.2, 13.3.2)
