A stretched verb is a complex predicate composed of a light verb and an eventive noun. An example is the English phrase "take a bite out of", which is semantically similar to the simple verb "bite". The concept has been used in studies of German and English.〔 〕 Other names for a stretched verb include "supported verb", "expanded predicate", "verbo-nominal phrase", and "delexical verb combination". Some definitions may place further restrictions on the construction: restricting the light verb to one of a fixed list; restricting the occurrence of articles, prepositions, or adverbs within the complex phrase; requiring the eventive noun to be identical or cognate with a synonymous simple verb, or at least requiring the stretched verb to be synonymous with some simple verb. 〔 〕 In English, many stretched verbs are more common than a corresponding simple verb: for example "get rid (X from Y )" compared to the verb "rid (of X )"; or "offer (one's) condolences (X )" vs "condole (X )". Correct use of stretched verbs is about as difficult for EFL students as other types of collocation.〔Nesselhauf, §5.1.3, pp.211–214 〕 ==See also== *Light verb *Phrasal verb 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stretched verb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
