| Abstract | ||
| Summary of the study ( A Syntactic Analysis of Delexical verbs in English ) Generally, verbs are words that describe actions, for example (run, play, swim, drink……etc.) They tell us what someone is doing. In cases where verbs depend on the nouns they are paired with to convey their meaning ,we refer to these verbs as ‘delexical’or weak verbs. This means that the verbs lose their traditional meaning ,and instead form a collocation with the following noun. The term ‘delexical verbs’ implies that the verb primarily serves as a functionally empty auxiliary , with the majority of semantic meaning conveyed by the deverbal noun. This study assumes that university students face difficulties in recognizing using delexical verbs. In order to prove this assumption a test has been given to a group of (60) students at their third year, English department ,college of Basic Education ,University of Mosul .The results then have been collected and analyzed. | ||
