| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to extend the notion of light verbs to all the constructions in which a semantically ‘light’ verb is involved. Light verb constructions occur not only when the verb takes a noun in the accusative (V + NP[+acc]), but also when the noun is in another case (V + NP[-acc]) or is the complement of a prepositional phrase (V + PP), as well as when the verb co-occurs with an adverb (V + Adv). Indeed, all these constructions show a similar behaviour, and can be considered as a particular expression of the general construction V + X. This idea is developed taking into account habeo as a light verb. |
