Abstract In this contribution, I review Augustinus's (2015) dissertation on the syntax of verb clusters. While the main theoretical aspects of this book (within the HPSG framework) may not be of interest to everyone, the corpus methodology used and the GrETEL tool that was developed in the course of this project are impressive, The book contains previously unknown descriptive details about possible clustering verbs. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, there should be something of interest here for anyone who is interested in verb clusters.
