Syntactic Structure of Light Verb Constructions

East European and Balkan Institute
This paper provides a well-founded approach to the type of complex predicate where two syntactic elements serve as a single predicate in Czech. Czech complex predicates are composed of so-called ‘Verbe support(fr.)’ in the verbal part and predicative nouns in nominal part. This type of construction can be found inter-linguistically in many of languages,

Light verb constructions vs. preverbal verbs in Looma

, 2016
When dealing with light verb constructions (LVCs) in a particular language, one of the most intriguing problems is the status of nouns forming part of them. Do they differ from “normal” NPs, and if so, in what exactly? The data collected during my fieldwork with the speakers of Woi-Bhalaga, a Guinean dialect of Looma (South-Western < Mande < Niger ...

Complex predicates and light verb constructions in Modern Irish

Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2014
This paper characterises complex predicates and light verb constructions in Modern Irish. Light verbs are attested in many of the world’s languages (Alsina, Bresnan & Sells, 2001; Butt, 1995, 2003). Cross linguistically, there appears to be a common class of verbs involved in these constructions and generally there is agreement that light verbs ...
