Vortrag: Light Verbs in Diachrony: Evidence from Marathi

The diachronic nature of light verbs in the Indo-Aryan languages has been a matter of debate. Scholars like Hook (1991, 1993) and Slade (2013) consider light verbs to have emerged as the resultant of diachronic change; whereas Butt and Lahiri (2013) opine that light verbs are historically stable and resistant to change. In the light of these views, the present paper traces the Marathi light verbs across time and tries to show that their pattern is indicative of gradual emergence rather than historical stability.
