The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of corpus-based error correction of writing on college students’ acquisition of verb phrases. For this study, 26 college students were chosen as participants and instructed to correct the errors shown in their writing using concordance program. In addition, the students completed the pre- and post-verb tests measuring the students’ acquisition of verb phrases. The results of this study are as follows: First, it was shown that verb phrase usage frequency rate was the highest in S+V+O pattern. In terms of verb phrase error frequency, it was the highest in S+V+O pattern and the second highest was in S+V+A pattern in both groups. The most frequent error types of verb phrase in the two patterns are presumed to result from the incorrect use of prepositions with verbs. Second, there was a significant difference between the two groups with regards to verb phrase error correction ratio according to the 7 sentence structure patterns. Higher error correction ratio indicates that there is improvement in accuracy, which leads to a better writing ability. Third, the pre- and post- verb tests showed that there was a 9% more improvement in the experimental group(12%) than in the control group(3%). In conclusion, the effects of corpus-based error correction contributed to the improvement of students’ acquisition of verb phrases. Finally, the data shows that when speaking in English students are most likely to use certain types of sentence patterns; S+V+O pattern, S+V+C pattern and S+V+A pattern. Considering those data results, it can be suggested that to improve the speaking ability of the students, teaching should be focused on practicing most frequently used sentence patterns.

Light verb is a proposed concept with actual function in the MP framework.It has strong morphological features which can cause the lower verb to raise,during which forms the VP phrase.In Chinese,causative complex structure is composed of main verb and light verb.Light verb includes actual phones of form and silent phones of form.The paper argues this view and,contrast to traditional view,Shi,is not a causative verb,but a FocusP,forms a FocusP node.

Jin and Wei Dynasties were the important period in the history of Chinese language,during which many coinages came into being.Put 来 before verb or verb phrases became the major way of verbal expressions.来+V(Phrase) still maintained the original meaning of the verb or verb phrase,however,the subtle lexical meaning of 来 lost its real meaning as a word.

When a verb or verb phrase is fronted from a clause lacking any other verbs either a copy of the displaced verb occurs or a dummy verb ‘do’ is inserted. Most languages employ the same strategy for both verb and verb phrase fronting. Here, I present two African languages, Asante Twi and Limbum, where displacement of a single verb results in a verb copy while a full verb phrase triggers do-support when fronted. Both V and VP-fronting show the same syntactic properties within each language. A reverse pattern of verb doubling with VP-fronting but do-support with V-fronting is unattested. I propose an analysis of both strategies in terms of different orders of application between post-syntactic head movement and copy deletion. In interaction with the type of V-movement, remnant VP or head-to-spec movement, this derives all three attested patterns to the exclusion of the unattested one.

It is a well-known fact that the verb dare can be used with either modal or main verb characteristics both in its inflection and in its syntax. When used as a modal, it drops the - s ending in the third person singular present indicative ( She dare not mention it in his presence ), has no imperative, infinitive or participial forms, takes direct negation by not , AUX-inverts in questions ( Dare I ask you another question? ) and is followed by the bare infinitive. In main verb use, on the other hand, it has all the normal forms of the verb, occurs with do auxiliary in negatives and interrogatives, and is construed with the to infinitive ( She doesn’t dare to mention it in his presence ).

The article is devoted to the analysis of the functional peculiarities of the English verb «to be». The author makes an attempt to find the equivalents of this verb in its various functions. The verb «to be» can function either as a link verb, or an auxiliary verb for forming an analytical type of the continuous aspect or an analytical construction of the passive voice, or as a modal verb, or it serves to build phrasal verbs. When we те a link verb it corresponds to the Tajik link verbs «будан», «ҳаст (аст)», which also function as link verbs. In the function of the marker of the continuous aspect the verb «to be» corresponds to the Tajik auxiliary verb «истодан». The equivalent of «to be» used as a word morpheme of the passive voice to the Tajik auxiliary verb «шудан». When «to be» is used as a modal verb it is translated into Tajik by means of the verb «бояд». In the function of the verbal modifier «to be» it corresponds to different lexico grammatical units of Modern Tajik.

In Old Chinese, where two or more verb phrases within a single clause (including adjectival and adverbial phrases) had to be connected by the conjunction ér or qiè, serial verb construction did not exist. In this grammatical system, it was impossible for any fusion and reanalysis across verb phrases to take place because the reanalysis had to involve a context consisting of more than one element that occurred adjacently. However, these conjunctions started to decline in Late Old Chinese and eventually died out in the first half of the Middle Chinese period, which enabled many grammatical changes to happen. Then, the first verb in a serial verb construction became grammaticalized into one of various grammatical markers.

The sequence of the locative zai phrase and the verb is constrained by the local features of verbs.Thus the zai phrase may be of much difference along with the different local features of verbs as well as the different sequences of the zai phrase and the verbs.When forming a construction with a fixed position or a starting position verb,the zai phrase can only be placed before it.When forming a construction with an ending position verb,the zai phrase can only be placed after it.When forming a construction with a starting-to-ending position or an adhesive position verb,the zai phrase can be placed either before or after it,on the condition that they have common features.
