From a typological perspective, auxiliary selection – the alternation between have and be in participle constructions – presents both striking regularities and differences. The papers presented in this volume describe and explain this variation on the basis of synchronic and diachronic evidence from a multitude of European languages. The volume is of high relevance to researchers interested in auxiliary selection and morphosyntactic variation.
