Subject: Prepositional complements



CROSS-POSTED TO: ANSAX-L, GERLINGL, OLDNORSENET, LINGUIST,

I am trying to track down information about verbs with

prepositional complements, such as the following



I know about John

She laughed at him



My main interest is these structures in Old English and I have

looked in Mitchell and Visser without much result. If anyone

knows of any work done in this area (for any langauge: (Old)

English, other Germanic languages, other non-Germanic languages),

please let me know.



If relevant, I will post a summary of responses to the net.



Thanks in advance,
