| Abstract The present study deals with the verbs that are delexicalised, outside the realm of the delexicalisation of other classes, because it is thought that the study of delexical verbs has been paid little attention. Add to this, it is a fact that L2 learners have no idea of what a delexical verb is, and even if they know it, could they differentiate between each of those verbs? Actually, this is what most concerns this study. It is hypothesized that students: 1. Use a delexical verb instead of another, 2. Do not differentiate between lexical verbs and delexical verbs. Therefore, a diagnostic test has been conducted to see whether the results agree with those hypotheses or not. Nevertheless, this study seeks to provide a clear image about delexical verbs, and tries to collect as much information as possible about the subject. Hoping to be useful for our non-native Iraqi learners. | ||
