The questions addressed in this volume include: What meaning does a light verb contribute to a light verb construction? What restrictions regarding nominal elements do light verbs exhibit? What influence do light verbs have on the argument structure of light verb constructions?
The analyses draw on different frameworks, including Generative Syntax and Construction Grammar, and combine corpus linguistic investigations with theoretical modeling.
