Title

The Productivity of Persian Light Verbs

Pages

  1-28

Abstract

 There is a group of verbs in Persian which lost part of their semantic content in the process of language evolution. These so-called Light verbs in addition with a preverbal element, a noun, an adjective or a prepositional phrase form Light verb constructions in this language. The syntactic and semantic study of these constructions became one of the challenging issues in modern linguistics and they were the subject of linguistic studies in different languages from different points of view. Light verb constructions are one of the most productive constructions in Persian, but the degree of the Productivity is not the same in all Persian Light verbs. Why do they show different degrees of Productivity in forming Light verb constructions is an important question which was unaddressed by the previous scholars of the field? To answer this question, firstly we measure the Productivity of each verb using the corpus data and then in the light of Distributed Morphology (Halle & Marantz, 1993; Marantz, 2013), which is a neo-constructionist view, we account for the differences in the degrees of their Productivity. The results indicate that the degrees of Persian Light verbs’ Productivity depend on the degrees of their Semantic lightness, their Insertion possibilities and their Insertion blockings. We assessed the degrees of their Semantic lightness by comparing the light and the lexical forms of each verb in the corpus data. Using the secondary exponence of Harley and Noyer (2000), we calculated the semantic and syntactic Insertion possibilities of the verbs, which means the syntactic and semantic environments in which these verbs are allowed to be inserted and finally we calculated the semantic and syntactic blockings of each verb, that is the semantic and syntactic environments in which their insertion is blocked. Thus, the verbs which contain higher degrees of lightness, more syntactic and semantic Insertion possibilities and less Insertion blockings display higher degrees of Productivity.
