In linguistics,a light verb is a verb that has little semantic content of its own and forms a predicate with some additional expression,which is usually a noun. Common verbs in English that can function as light verbs are do,give,have,make,get,and take. Other names for light verb include delexical verb,vector verb,explicator verb,thin verb,empty verb and semantically weak verb. While light verbs are similar to auxiliary verbs regarding their contribution of meaning to the clauses in which they appear,light verbs fail the diagnostics that identify auxiliary verbs and are therefore distinct from auxiliaries.
