Summary
Pseudocoordination is found with motion verbs, posture verbs, TAKE, some control verbs, and some other types; generally similar to pseudocoordination found in mainland Scandinavian languages (Danish, Norwegian and Swedish) but somewhat less extensive usage and also researched less extensively. See Heycock & Petersen (2012) for an overview, and Ross (2021) Chapter 7 for a comprehensive literature review, and discussion of TRY AND specifically.
