Beskrivning

Support-verb constructions, like 'to make a suggestion' and 'to take heart',are an integral, enriching, and natural part of the classical Greek lexicon-grammar rather than stylistic, register-related, or redundant as often claimed, yet they remain a pain in the neck even 20 years after Sag's seminal article.
