[Lingtyp] Typology of light verb constructions

[Rachel Nordlinger]

Hi Emily,

Miriam Butt has written a lot on this topic – see for example https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-Light-Verb-Jungle-Butt/842d148da229bca45fa3c8fc112caaeeb4e8157b and https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-light-verb-jungle-%3A-still-hacking-away-Butt/8c923797ae151fdc3aab18201472ba5d777a7e71

Cheers,

Rachel
