dc.description.abstractThis research concentrates on the morphosyntactic aspects of light verbs in Punjabi language. The understudied South Asian language, Punjabi, manifests a productive formation of light verb constructions which are integral to the structure of the language.The usage of light verb is one of the ways of constructing complex sentential structure. Punjabi light verbs tend to combine with N, Adj, V, Adv, and prep to form light verb constructions in Punjabi. The present study aims to highlight the significance of the light verbs found in Punjabi. Moreover, it attempts to find out the Punjabi light verbs, describe variations of different Punjabi light verbs and to display a number of syntactic and semantic characteristics of Punjabi light verbs. This research presents a list of light verbs and its different constructions. The differences among light verbs, dummy verbs, serial verbs, auxiliaries have also been discussed. The present study is descriptive, corpus-based and qualitative in nature. Light verb constructions in Punjabi have been analyzed under Andrew Carnieā€˜s theoretical frame work and phrase structure grammar in the light of x-bar theory. The data for the study was collected from personal observation, Punjabi books, articles, journals, recordings, etc.en_US
