Modern German allows expressions such as Geld versaufen or Fett wegtrainieren, which feature an object that could not be selected by the verb alone in the absence of the verb particle. Compounds of this sort are resultative insofar as they express a change in the object’s location or state indirectly brought about; the base verb indicates the event bringing about the change — which, however, does not affect the object directly —, the verb particle expresses the resulting state. Such constructions also exist in Indo-European languages such as Indo-Iranian, Greek and Latin, but have hitherto been scarcely studied systematically; this study attempts to bridge this gap.
