«Aportar contribución», «experimentar cambios» – Las construcciones con verbo soporte en el español y en el alemán

This essay gives an overview about the so called 'light verb constructions' (LVCs) of the Spanishand German languages. LVCs are formed by the combination of a noun as the semantic, and a verbas the syntactic head of the construction. Since the descprition of their Spanish equivalents has gainedattention only recently, we consider it important to adapt and apply the findings of the thoroughGerman experiments on Spanish LVCs.
