Sažetak
The paper presents a corpus-cognitive study of basic elements in the schematisation process
of the so called light verbs in the analytic verbo-nominal constructions in the contemporary
English language. The historical overview offers a diachronic motivation for the initial schematisation
processes of the verbs have, give, take and make and reveals an early recognition
of their productive potential based on the simultaneous processes of (super)schematisation
and metaphoric elaboration. Network models (cf. Langacker 1991) of the verbs are presented
in order to elaborate on the complex interface facilitating a constructional schema which is at
the same time highly productive and very frequent in the corpus of the English language.
