Abstract
The aim of the paper is to present general understanding of incorporation and to compare and contrast it in English and Lithuanian. Generally incorporated constructions are understood as constructions in which a verb and one of its arguments form a particularly tight unit. Incorporation is typical to many Siberian and North American language families. Although English and Lithuanian do not belong to them, some types of incorporation can be identified in their grammatical structure. The analysis is based on the evidence drawn from Jack London’s novel “White Fang” and its translation into the Lithuanian language. The paper analyses the cases of noun, preposition, and adjective incorporation. KEY WORDS: contrastive linguistics, incorporation, noun incorporation, preposition incorporation, adjective incorporation, English, Lithuanian. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/ rh.v0i16.1023
