Light verb constructions (LVCs) permeate the oral and written productions of native (and non-native) speakers of typologically different languages (e.g., Indo-European, Afro-Asiatic, and Sino-Tibetan languages, among others). From a cross-linguistic perspective, LVCs share basic combinatory and predicative features. However, semantic and morphosyntactic contrasts are visible even in closely related languages such as Spanish and Italian. Therefore, this paper aims to show some of the most significant asymmetries existing between Peninsular Spanish light verb constructions and their equivalent forms in Italian. The ultimate goal of this research is to highlight some of the systematic contrasts that affect specific semantic classes.

Konstrukcje z czasownikami funkcyjnymi (LVC, „light verb constructions”) stanowią szczególną kategorię w ramach systemu konstrukcji czasownikowych posiadających znaczenia metaforyczne, ponieważ ich semantyka jest przede wszystkim zdeterminowana nie przez czasownik, ale przez jego argument rzeczownikowy, która na ogół funkcjonuje jako dopełnienie. Jednakże kategoria LVC jest daleka od jednorodności. Cel niniejszej pracy jest dwojaki. Po pierwsze, staram się odpowiedzieć na pytanie o zróżnicowanie, które znajdujemy w kategorii LVC. Po drugie, analizuję strukturę semantyczną węgierskiego czasownika köt ‘wiązać’, aby dowiedzieć się, jak LVC z udziałem tego czasownika mogą być włączone do systemu konstrukcji czasownikowych o znaczeniu metaforycznym. Poprzez badanie sprawdzonych, rzeczywistych przykładów staram się również podkreślić fakt, że (w przeciwieństwie do popularnego założenia w literaturze specjalistycznej) elementy czasownikowe LVC nie mogą być uważane za elementy „bez znaczenia”. Choć ich znaczenie jest w mniejszym lub większym stopniu abstrakcyjne, nie są one bynajmniej semantycznie „puste”; co więcej, ich znaczenie nie jest koniecznie i wyłącznie „gramatyczne”.

Light verb constructions (henceforth LVCs) constitute a peculiar category within the system of verbal constructions having metaphorical meanings, as their semantics is primarily determined not by the verb but rather by its nominal dependent, which generally functions as an object. However, the category of LVCs is far from being homogeneous. The goal of the present paper is twofold. Firstly, I attempt to account for the variability we find within the category of LVCs. Secondly, I analyse the semantic structure of the Hungarian verb köt ‘tie, bind’ in order to find out how LVCs involving this verb can be integrated into the system of verbal constructions with metaphorical meanings. By the study of attested, real-world examples, I also aim to highlight the fact that (contrary to a popular assumption in the specialized literature) the verbal components of LVCs cannot be considered “meaningless” elements. While their meaning is abstract to a lesser or higher degree, they are by no means semantically “empty”; moreover, their meaning is not necessarily and exclusively “grammatical”.

Light verbs are generally considered on semantic grounds: Light verbs are contrasted with predicative verbs because the former lack argument structure. In this paper, I argue that light verbs should rather be considered on syntactic grounds, i.e., in terms of the structure of the sentence. From this point of view, light verbs highlight the central property of verbs tout court: namely, to construct a VP. In § 1, I argue that only on this basis can light and predicative verbs be consistently contrasted. In §§ 2 and 3, I address the question of the structure of a VP with a light verb. In § 4, I address the question of the relationship between argument structure and semantic richness.

The paper deals with Italian helping verbs (modal, aspectual, causative verbs) and light verbs which form complex predicates and with the rules that guide its use in Italian descriptive grammars published in Italy between 1953 and 2005. The author shows that those forms in both – traditional and contemporary Italian descriptive grammars are treated at the level of word classes whereas it could be more appropriate to discuss them as clause elements as they form complex predicates. In our opinion this way of describing such verbs is due to the tradition in Italy to focus on a form and not on function of an element. What is more, Italian grammarians tend to omit in Italian descriptive grammars noun predicationand the role of semantic predicate (n pred.). The goal of the paper is to present the advantages of an integrated approach to helping verbs (modal, aspectual, causative verbs) and light verbs in modern Italian. The author emphasizes its importance for contemporary Italian FL syntax teaching.

With the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, people needed information about the new disease. The journalists immediately facilitated it in the information portals. Due to lack of specialized knowledge, they frequently used metonymy very often, so as a result several popular synonyms acquired by readers appeared. In the text we analyze how the predicative name COVID-19 (also considering all possible synonyms) belonging to the category of is actualized in the texts of the Spanish language press online. We present the determinants and light verbs which are mentioned used by Spanish-speaking journalists, and this allows to know better not only the syntax of the name in question but also the combinatory inventory of all the predicative names of the same class. As the texts studied are characterized by a certain level of specialization, the results of the study may do not correspond to the analysis of other, more or less specialized, texts., more or less specialized.

Con el inicio de la pandemia por COVID-19, la gente necesitó la información sobre la nueva enfermedad. Los periodistas en seguida la facilitaron en los portales de información. Por falta del conocimiento especializado, usaron muy a mendu la metonimia, pues aparecieron varios sinónimos populares adquiridos por consecuencia por los lectores. En el texto analizamos como el nombre COVID-19 (tomando en cuenta también todos sus sinónimos posible) que pertenece a la categoría de están actualizados en los textos que se pueden consultar en los portales de información de lengua española. Presentamos los determinantes y los verbos soporte usados por los periodistas hispanohablantes, lo que permite conocer mejor la combinatoria del nombre en cuestión, pero también de todos los nombres predicativos de la misma clase. Como los textos estudiados se caracterizan por un cierto nivel de especialización, los análisis de otros textos, más o menos especializados, pueden llevar a otras conclusiones.
