Abstract
Light verb constructions (LVCs) have been studied not only in native Englishes, but also in a number of non-native varieties. The present research focuses on the constructions with the light verbs have, get, give, make, and do combined with the deverbal noun laugh. The study aims at giving a descriptive analysis of the structures in question in twenty English varieties on the basis of corpus data. All the data for analysis are collected from the GloWbE corpus. Constructions have/get/give a laugh are investigated in terms of frequency and complementation patterns.
轻动词结构(LVCs)不仅在英语母语中有研究,而且在许多非英语母语变体中也有研究。本文的研究重点是轻动词have、get、give、make和do与表意名词laugh结合的结构。本研究旨在以语料库数据为基础,对20个英语变体中存在问题的结构进行描述性分析。所有用于分析的数据都是从GloWbE语料库中收集的。结构have/get/give a laugh在频率和补语模式方面进行了研究。
