Abstract:

Support-verb constructions, like 'to make a suggestion' or 'to take
heart', are verbal multi-word expressions. They are lexically,
morphosyntactically, semantically, and pragmatically versatile and
thus form an integral, enriching, and natural part of the classical
Greek lexicon grammar. Taking heart does not involve barbarism and
taking a picture does not involve theft, yet how does one know that
for a corpus language like classical literary Attic Greek? This book
embraces the diversity of this internally heterogenous group of
constructions which sit at three interfaces.
