Support Verb Constructions with Predicate Noun in Subject Position

Résumé

Support Verb Constructions (SVC), such as 'make a statement, take a walk, have a fever, be of some importance, give a cry,' etc. are verb-noun predicative combinations formed by a predicate noun and a support verb. Several syntactic properties distinguish SVC from ordinary verb-noun combinations, where the verb is a distributional (or full) verb. SVC are a major linguistic device in many languages, and serve to express a large number and a wide variety of semantic predicates. Previous studies have focused for the most part on structures where the predicate noun is a complement of the support verb, though there have been inklings about other relevant syntactic configurations. In this paper, we resume this trend and explore the diversity of semantic predicates found, where the predicate noun appears as the subject of support verb, while trying to extend the available syntactic criteria to determine SVC status in this particular configuration.
