peer agreement (net): +1| full lexical verbs and light verbs verbi completamente lessicali e verbi "leggeri" Explanation: http://www.gazzaro.it/g/files/students.html I verbi "leggeri" sono quelli che, a differenza di quelli lessicali, hanno bisogno di altri elementi grammaticali, cioè dei complementi, per precisare meglio il loro significato in ciascuna frase. I verbi lessicali o "pesanti" sono invece quelli che esplicitano completamente il loro significato in una sola parola. Es: "dare un calcio alla palla" ("dare" qui è verbo leggero) / "calciare la palla" (dove "calciare" è verbo lessicale). Ecco altri esempi tratto da questa pagina: http://home.bluemarble.net/~langmin/miniatures/light.htm LIGHT VERB 'HEAVY' VERB I can't get this screw loose = I can't loosen this screw He gives the ball a kick = He kicks the ball Did you have a look? = Did you look? The child makes a fuss = The child fusses She puts the books on the shelf = She shelves the books He takes a chance on it = He chances it -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2006-02-22 18:20:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Naturalmente non garantisco che questa sia la definizione esatta o più diffusa in linguistica, e attendo eventuali conferme o smentite dagli esperti del settore. |
