A guest lecture by Dr. hab. Máté ITTZÉS | Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest

======================================

The lecture addresses the question whether light verbs may participate in the so-called grammaticalization cline (i.e. main verb → light verb → auxiliary). In contrast to the opinion that there is no evidence for the diachronic change leading from light verb to auxiliary and that light verbs are in fact diachronically “inert”, I will argue that the history of the periphrastic perfect in Vedic does indeed attest such a process, a suggestion which is in accordance with recent findings concerning some Modern Indo-Aryan compound verb constructions.
