<p>Yes, that is right: in some languages - Japanese, Korean -, the
light-verb construction is a means to verbalize loans.</p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="ydp9ffa84ecyiv6391310140MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:serif;">Persian
has lost most of its simple verbs in the past 12
centuries gradually and the number of its simple verbs
is less than 250 in modern era. Instead, it normally
makes compound verbs to refer to actions. This
language was heavily affected by Arabic in the last 12
centuries and it borrowed many words from this
language.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ydp9ffa84ecyiv6391310140MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:serif;">My
question is: Could we assume that contact with Arabic
has caused the decrease of producing/using simple
verbs in Persian? Do you know any similar case of
language contact effects in other languages? </span></p>
