4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the

interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

Patterns of verb sequences in Newar
There are four types of verb sequences that involves the non-finite form of a verb in the V1 slot
NF1 (Non-Finite form 1)
bull The meanings expressed by this form are means manner temporal sequence temporal overlap causereason and concessive (Hale amp Shrestha 2006)
bull See Hale and Shrestha 1999 for details
NF1(continued)
the NF1 clause constitute an independent clause and it is not necessary for the V1 and V2 to be adjacent
NF2

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms
Hale and Shrestha (2006 129)
Two types of compound verbs
bull Lexical compound verbs
Both V1 and V2 have lost their original meaning and forms a single sense in combination of the two

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement

39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptions especially in the South Asian languages

Masica (1976 150-51) Distribution of ECV and Analogous phenomenon
1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

1 Introduction
Th li t b i d f l d t f l i lThe explicator verb is drawn from a closed set of lexicalverbs GO COME GIVE TAKE PUTKEEP RISE FALLTHROW SIT etc which express motion or displacementand hence also are sometimes referred to as vector verbsVector verbs contribute various meanings to the ECVconcatenation such as modularities of aspect deixis and

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

investigation they share a common tendency

CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question

that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo

Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always

The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of

entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways
6
g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically
8
main verb in the language hellip historically stable very much unlike what has been documented for auxiliaries (Butt 200315)

1 Introduction
Vector verbrsquos semanticsare claimed to be sufficiently abstract to allow them to function immediately as vectors or explicators in compound verbs without semantic bleaching or phonological
9
without semantic bleaching or phonological ablation
1 IntroductionFurthermore vector verbs are not to be regardedFurthermore vector verbs are not to be regardedas semantically bleached hellip light verbs do not enter the grammaticalizationcline ie they are not main verbs which have beenreanalyzed as light verbs and which are now proneto further reanalysis light verbs are intimately
10
to further reanalysis hellip light verbs are intimatelyconnected to their main verb counterpart in thelexicon They are so intimately connected that weassume just one lexical entry which can give rise toboth light and main verb meanings (Butt 200316)

16
(example (15) and (16))So the presence of ldquoform-identicalnessrdquo does not in and of itself distinguish vectors from auxiliaries

Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)
2 Form-identicalness

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationIt has been noted that in Hindi CVs are not favored in negative polarity environments Hook (2001a) reports that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution CVs frequently occur in negative environments and especially in the jab tak clauses

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses
11
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents

The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

Both V1 and V2 have lost their original meaning and forms a single sense in combination of the two

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways
6
g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically
8
main verb in the language hellip historically stable very much unlike what has been documented for auxiliaries (Butt 200315)

10
to further reanalysis hellip light verbs are intimatelyconnected to their main verb counterpart in thelexicon They are so intimately connected that weassume just one lexical entry which can give rise toboth light and main verb meanings (Butt 200316)

However although Hindi-Urdu h-th- be also functions as an auxiliary of tense and mood there is no difference in form between its forms quaauxiliaries and the corresponding full lexical verb(example (15) and (16))
16
(example (15) and (16))So the presence of ldquoform-identicalnessrdquo does not in and of itself distinguish vectors from auxiliaries

19
Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)

Dictionaries specify forms for the imperative of koL- koo- when it occurs as a vector that are differentfrom those of koL-koo- as a main verbThese facts are not consonant with Butts andTantoss claim that historical changes that apply
20
Tantos s claim that hellip historical changes that applyto change the surface form of the verb (changes inmorphology form etc) will apply to both the lightand the main verb useshellip (2004126)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

34

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

36
( y g ) g
In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

1 Introduction
Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

1 Introduction
However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

Hook 2001a are exceptions)
1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th
11
the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

19
investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)
7
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Out of 10 occurrences of the ECV in theOut of 10 occurrences of the ECV in the Marathi constitution 7 are cases of composita tantum (sequences which behave like unit lexical items)raakhun ThevNe lsquoreserve + KEEPrsquo 5 tokens

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
27
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

In the Marathi version of the IndianIn the Marathi version of the Indian constitution 3 expressions of the lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type are attested nemun deNelsquodesignate + GIVErsquo ghaalun deNe lsquoinsert + GIVErsquo khaatri karun gheNe lsquoassurance do + TAKErsquo A full sentence example

33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension
34
pof the CVs power to express temporal anteriority
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always

y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of

entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the

character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingExample (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d-f)Example (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d f)represent its grammatical uses Examples (22b 22c) straddlebetween the lexical and grammatical use with the formerhaving a phonological break while the latter doesnt Thisaccording to Ono represents the iconic relationship holdingbetween phonological distance and conceptual distance In(22b) the presence of a phonological break has a two-eventinterpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaning
34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

Both V1 and V2 have lost their original meaning and forms a single sense in combination of the two

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways
6
g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically
8
main verb in the language hellip historically stable very much unlike what has been documented for auxiliaries (Butt 200315)

1 IntroductionFurthermore vector verbs are not to be regardedFurthermore vector verbs are not to be regardedas semantically bleached hellip light verbs do not enter the grammaticalizationcline ie they are not main verbs which have beenreanalyzed as light verbs and which are now proneto further reanalysis light verbs are intimately
10
to further reanalysis hellip light verbs are intimatelyconnected to their main verb counterpart in thelexicon They are so intimately connected that weassume just one lexical entry which can give rise toboth light and main verb meanings (Butt 200316)

2 Form-identicalness
However although Hindi-Urdu h-th- be also functions as an auxiliary of tense and mood there is no difference in form between its forms quaauxiliaries and the corresponding full lexical verb(example (15) and (16))
16
(example (15) and (16))So the presence of ldquoform-identicalnessrdquo does not in and of itself distinguish vectors from auxiliaries

19
Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)
2 Form-identicalness
Dictionaries specify forms for the imperative of koL- koo- when it occurs as a vector that are differentfrom those of koL-koo- as a main verbThese facts are not consonant with Butts andTantoss claim that historical changes that apply
20
Tantos s claim that hellip historical changes that applyto change the surface form of the verb (changes inmorphology form etc) will apply to both the lightand the main verb useshellip (2004126)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

36
( y g ) g
In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

1 Introduction
Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

Hook 2001a are exceptions)
1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

19
investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)
7
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Out of 10 occurrences of the ECV in theOut of 10 occurrences of the ECV in the Marathi constitution 7 are cases of composita tantum (sequences which behave like unit lexical items)raakhun ThevNe lsquoreserve + KEEPrsquo 5 tokens

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
27
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In the Marathi version of the IndianIn the Marathi version of the Indian constitution 3 expressions of the lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type are attested nemun deNelsquodesignate + GIVErsquo ghaalun deNe lsquoinsert + GIVErsquo khaatri karun gheNe lsquoassurance do + TAKErsquo A full sentence example

In the Japanese constitution there are 4 tokens ofIn the Japanese constitution there are 4 tokens of the so-called ldquolexical compoundsrdquo (Kageyama 1993)yuzuri-watasu lsquohand overrsquo yuzuri-ukeru lsquotake overrsquo uke-toru lsquoreceiversquo 2 tokens) These are unitary lexical items and are listed in the lexicon In the Korean constitution there is one token of a
33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension
34
pof the CVs power to express temporal anteriority
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationIt has been noted that in Hindi CVs are not favored in negative polarity environments Hook (2001a) reports that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution CVs frequently occur in negative environments and especially in the jab tak clauses

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of

entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp ConclusionIn sum an understanding of the influence ofIn sum an understanding of the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs helps us to understand the lexical semantic and discourse functions of the heterogeneous category of the explicator compound verb in South Asian and Northeast Asian languages

bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured

39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo
48
lsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo in Korean) are not attested

1 Introduction
bull a comparative study of vector verbs across the l f N th t C t l d S th A ilanguages of Northeast Central and South Asia provides us an invaluable opportunity to examine the process of grammaticalization at different points in apparent time and to follow it through successive phases (see Hook 1988)
bull Such an exploration in ldquospacegeographyrdquo provides a glimpse into the ldquotimehistoryrdquo of the trajectory of change

1 Introduction
bull In this paper I focus on the vector verb (v2) usage of the experientially basic verb PUTKEEPusage of the experientially basic verb PUTKEEPin the languages of Northeast (Japanese Korean Mongolian) Central (Kazakh Uzbek Kyrgyz Tajik Uyghur) and South Asia (Hindi Marathi Telugu Tamil Malayalam) in an attempt to shed light on the similarities andattempt to shed light on the similarities and differences in its co‐occurrence restrictions with the main verb (V1) through a questionnaire‐based elicitation study

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways
6
g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24

However the cross linguistic parallels in theHowever the cross-linguistic parallels in the meanings of vectors that are homophonous with main verbs meaning put or keep are the exception rather than the rule Let us look at some exceptions

3 Semantic bleachingHindi-Urdus vector de GIVE as in (20) has a muchHindi Urdu s vector de GIVE as in (20) has a much broader range of uses than its Marathi counterpart Some of these are at odds with those of Marathirsquos de GIVE and are not predictable from the semantics of the main verb give in either language
(20) na-jaane kidhar cal de-tiihai hellipNeg-know where move GIVE-Habitual
29
Neg know where move GIVE Habitual
No knowing where she goes off tohellip (Hindi-Urdu)
Marathi does not allow the equivalent of (20) even though it also has a vector correlated with its main verb de- give
3 Semantic bleachingThis unexpected variation in vector function takes onThis unexpected variation in vector function takes on dramatic form in Turkish

While (21a) in Turkish has an apparent parallel in Hindi-Urdus inverse CV de bhaagaa took off there is no Hindi-Urdu counterpart to (21b) that can be related to any cor-responding difference in the semantics of main verb ver- in Turkish as opposed to the semantics of main verb de- in Hindi-Urdu
3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude
35

36

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

Both V1 and V2 have lost their original meaning and forms a single sense in combination of the two

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways
6
g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically
8
main verb in the language hellip historically stable very much unlike what has been documented for auxiliaries (Butt 200315)

1 IntroductionFurthermore vector verbs are not to be regardedFurthermore vector verbs are not to be regardedas semantically bleached hellip light verbs do not enter the grammaticalizationcline ie they are not main verbs which have beenreanalyzed as light verbs and which are now proneto further reanalysis light verbs are intimately
10
to further reanalysis hellip light verbs are intimatelyconnected to their main verb counterpart in thelexicon They are so intimately connected that weassume just one lexical entry which can give rise toboth light and main verb meanings (Butt 200316)

2 Form-identicalness
However although Hindi-Urdu h-th- be also functions as an auxiliary of tense and mood there is no difference in form between its forms quaauxiliaries and the corresponding full lexical verb(example (15) and (16))
16
(example (15) and (16))So the presence of ldquoform-identicalnessrdquo does not in and of itself distinguish vectors from auxiliaries

19
Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)
2 Form-identicalness
Dictionaries specify forms for the imperative of koL- koo- when it occurs as a vector that are differentfrom those of koL-koo- as a main verbThese facts are not consonant with Butts andTantoss claim that historical changes that apply
20
Tantos s claim that hellip historical changes that applyto change the surface form of the verb (changes inmorphology form etc) will apply to both the lightand the main verb useshellip (2004126)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

36
( y g ) g
In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

1 Introduction
Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

Hook 2001a are exceptions)
1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

19
investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)
7
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Out of 10 occurrences of the ECV in theOut of 10 occurrences of the ECV in the Marathi constitution 7 are cases of composita tantum (sequences which behave like unit lexical items)raakhun ThevNe lsquoreserve + KEEPrsquo 5 tokens

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
27
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In the Marathi version of the IndianIn the Marathi version of the Indian constitution 3 expressions of the lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type are attested nemun deNelsquodesignate + GIVErsquo ghaalun deNe lsquoinsert + GIVErsquo khaatri karun gheNe lsquoassurance do + TAKErsquo A full sentence example

In the Japanese constitution there are 4 tokens ofIn the Japanese constitution there are 4 tokens of the so-called ldquolexical compoundsrdquo (Kageyama 1993)yuzuri-watasu lsquohand overrsquo yuzuri-ukeru lsquotake overrsquo uke-toru lsquoreceiversquo 2 tokens) These are unitary lexical items and are listed in the lexicon In the Korean constitution there is one token of a
33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension
34
pof the CVs power to express temporal anteriority
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationIt has been noted that in Hindi CVs are not favored in negative polarity environments Hook (2001a) reports that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution CVs frequently occur in negative environments and especially in the jab tak clauses

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

Th li t b i d f l d t f l i lThe explicator verb is drawn from a closed set of lexicalverbs GO COME GIVE TAKE PUTKEEP RISE FALLTHROW SIT etc which express motion or displacementand hence also are sometimes referred to as vector verbsVector verbs contribute various meanings to the ECVconcatenation such as modularities of aspect deixis and

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30

Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo
48

PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement

39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40

attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptions especially in the South Asian languages

Masica (1976 150-51) Distribution of ECV and Analogous phenomenon
1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

1 Introduction
Th li t b i d f l d t f l i lThe explicator verb is drawn from a closed set of lexicalverbs GO COME GIVE TAKE PUTKEEP RISE FALLTHROW SIT etc which express motion or displacementand hence also are sometimes referred to as vector verbsVector verbs contribute various meanings to the ECVconcatenation such as modularities of aspect deixis and

Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses
11
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo
48

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured

4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents

The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptions especially in the South Asian languages

Masica (1976 150-51) Distribution of ECV and Analogous phenomenon
1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

1 Introduction
Th li t b i d f l d t f l i lThe explicator verb is drawn from a closed set of lexicalverbs GO COME GIVE TAKE PUTKEEP RISE FALLTHROW SIT etc which express motion or displacementand hence also are sometimes referred to as vector verbsVector verbs contribute various meanings to the ECVconcatenation such as modularities of aspect deixis and

Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)
7
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

In the Japanese constitution there are 4 tokens ofIn the Japanese constitution there are 4 tokens of the so-called ldquolexical compoundsrdquo (Kageyama 1993)yuzuri-watasu lsquohand overrsquo yuzuri-ukeru lsquotake overrsquo uke-toru lsquoreceiversquo 2 tokens) These are unitary lexical items and are listed in the lexicon In the Korean constitution there is one token of a
33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo
48
lsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo in Korean) are not attested
13
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn sum an understanding of the influence ofIn sum an understanding of the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs helps us to understand the lexical semantic and discourse functions of the heterogeneous category of the explicator compound verb in South Asian and Northeast Asian languages

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

Patterns of verb sequences in Newar
There are four types of verb sequences that involves the non-finite form of a verb in the V1 slot
NF1 (Non-Finite form 1)
bull The meanings expressed by this form are means manner temporal sequence temporal overlap causereason and concessive (Hale amp Shrestha 2006)
bull See Hale and Shrestha 1999 for details
NF1(continued)
the NF1 clause constitute an independent clause and it is not necessary for the V1 and V2 to be adjacent
NF2

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms
Hale and Shrestha (2006 129)
Two types of compound verbs
bull Lexical compound verbs
Both V1 and V2 have lost their original meaning and forms a single sense in combination of the two

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptions especially in the South Asian languages

Masica (1976 150-51) Distribution of ECV and Analogous phenomenon
1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

1 Introduction
Th li t b i d f l d t f l i lThe explicator verb is drawn from a closed set of lexicalverbs GO COME GIVE TAKE PUTKEEP RISE FALLTHROW SIT etc which express motion or displacementand hence also are sometimes referred to as vector verbsVector verbs contribute various meanings to the ECVconcatenation such as modularities of aspect deixis and

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo
48
lsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo in Korean) are not attested

29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

There are four types of verb sequences that involves the non-finite form of a verb in the V1 slot
NF1 (Non-Finite form 1)
bull The meanings expressed by this form are means manner temporal sequence temporal overlap causereason and concessive (Hale amp Shrestha 2006)

the NF1 clause constitute an independent clause and it is not necessary for the V1 and V2 to be adjacent

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

1 Introduction
Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

1 Introduction
However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

From the statistics given in Tables 1 through 4 it is clear that although the text frequencies of CVs vary from language to language in the four languages under investigation they share a common

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
27
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts

On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a

language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi

Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds

29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways
6
g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically
8
main verb in the language hellip historically stable very much unlike what has been documented for auxiliaries (Butt 200315)

1 Introduction
Vector verbrsquos semanticsare claimed to be sufficiently abstract to allow them to function immediately as vectors or explicators in compound verbs without semantic bleaching or phonological
9
without semantic bleaching or phonological ablation
1 IntroductionFurthermore vector verbs are not to be regardedFurthermore vector verbs are not to be regardedas semantically bleached hellip light verbs do not enter the grammaticalizationcline ie they are not main verbs which have beenreanalyzed as light verbs and which are now proneto further reanalysis light verbs are intimately
10
to further reanalysis hellip light verbs are intimatelyconnected to their main verb counterpart in thelexicon They are so intimately connected that weassume just one lexical entry which can give rise toboth light and main verb meanings (Butt 200316)

2 Form-identicalness
However although Hindi-Urdu h-th- be also functions as an auxiliary of tense and mood there is no difference in form between its forms quaauxiliaries and the corresponding full lexical verb(example (15) and (16))
16
(example (15) and (16))So the presence of ldquoform-identicalnessrdquo does not in and of itself distinguish vectors from auxiliaries

19
Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)
2 Form-identicalness
Dictionaries specify forms for the imperative of koL- koo- when it occurs as a vector that are differentfrom those of koL-koo- as a main verbThese facts are not consonant with Butts andTantoss claim that historical changes that apply
20
Tantos s claim that hellip historical changes that applyto change the surface form of the verb (changes inmorphology form etc) will apply to both the lightand the main verb useshellip (2004126)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)
10
3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationIt has been noted that in Hindi CVs are not favored in negative polarity environments Hook (2001a) reports that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution CVs frequently occur in negative environments and especially in the jab tak clauses

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses
11
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull The results of the study show that all the languages under discussion behave alike withlanguages under discussion behave alike with regard to the concatenation of PUTKEEP with canonical transitive V1
bull As for the combination of the same verb acting as V1 as well as V2 (KEEP+KEEP) differences are observed Northeast anddifferences are observed Northeast and Central Asian languages allow such combinations while South Asian languages do not
29
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull With regard to ingestive verbs very few languages barring Japanese and Koreanlanguages barring Japanese and Korean permit concatenation with PUTKEEP The same trend is found for the reflexive and unergative verbs
bull Finally as for unaccusative only Japanese allow concatenation with PUTKEEP Theallow concatenation with PUTKEEP The vector PUTKEEP in Japanese (oku) unlike its Korean counterparts also undergoes phonetic attrition
30
4 Summary amp Conclusions
bull From these facts I conclude that on the ti f ti li ti f th tcontinuum of grammaticalization of the vector
PUTKEEP Japanese occupies the higher end and South Asian languages the lower one Korean and the Central Asian languages fall mid‐way between these two poles
bull A more fine‐grained analysis (involving elicitation from multiple no of speakers attested examples etc) is required

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions

which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

1 Introduction
However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

From the statistics given in Tables 1 through 4 it is clear that although the text frequencies of CVs vary from language to language in the four languages under investigation they share a common

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways
6
g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleachingMasica (1976) has noticed the cross-linguistic parallel inMasica (1976) has noticed the cross linguistic parallel in the function of vectors whose lexical counterparts mean put or keep Regardless of their etymological source or phonological shape vectors PUTKEEP are used in the sense of performance of an act with future use or benefit in viewSuch parallels can be seen in the uses of Kashmiris thav

However the cross linguistic parallels in theHowever the cross-linguistic parallels in the meanings of vectors that are homophonous with main verbs meaning put or keep are the exception rather than the rule Let us look at some exceptions

3 Semantic bleachingHindi-Urdus vector de GIVE as in (20) has a muchHindi Urdu s vector de GIVE as in (20) has a much broader range of uses than its Marathi counterpart Some of these are at odds with those of Marathirsquos de GIVE and are not predictable from the semantics of the main verb give in either language
(20) na-jaane kidhar cal de-tiihai hellipNeg-know where move GIVE-Habitual
29
Neg know where move GIVE Habitual
No knowing where she goes off tohellip (Hindi-Urdu)
Marathi does not allow the equivalent of (20) even though it also has a vector correlated with its main verb de- give
3 Semantic bleachingThis unexpected variation in vector function takes onThis unexpected variation in vector function takes on dramatic form in Turkish
(21) a koşa-ver-iniz Hurry up and run

30
While (21a) in Turkish has an apparent parallel in Hindi-Urdus inverse CV de bhaagaa took off there is no Hindi-Urdu counterpart to (21b) that can be related to any cor-responding difference in the semantics of main verb ver- in Turkish as opposed to the semantics of main verb de- in Hindi-Urdu
3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingExample (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d-f)Example (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d f)represent its grammatical uses Examples (22b 22c) straddlebetween the lexical and grammatical use with the formerhaving a phonological break while the latter doesnt Thisaccording to Ono represents the iconic relationship holdingbetween phonological distance and conceptual distance In(22b) the presence of a phonological break has a two-eventinterpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaning
34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude
35

36
( y g ) g
In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions

which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

Patterns of verb sequences in Newar
There are four types of verb sequences that involves the non-finite form of a verb in the V1 slot
NF1 (Non-Finite form 1)
bull The meanings expressed by this form are means manner temporal sequence temporal overlap causereason and concessive (Hale amp Shrestha 2006)
bull See Hale and Shrestha 1999 for details
NF1(continued)
the NF1 clause constitute an independent clause and it is not necessary for the V1 and V2 to be adjacent

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

1 Introduction
Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

1 Introduction
However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

Hook 2001a are exceptions)
1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th
11
the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

From the Marathi version of the Indian

From the Marathi version of the Indian constitution just one sample passage was selected

Since the Japanese and Ko ean constit tionsSince the Japanese and Korean constitutions are considerably shorter full texts of them were subjected to analysis

2 Data collection and results
From the statistics given in Tables 1 through 4 it is clear that although the text frequencies of CVs vary from language to language in the four languages under investigation they share a common
19
investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds

Patterns of verb sequences in Newar
There are four types of verb sequences that involves the non-finite form of a verb in the V1 slot
NF1 (Non-Finite form 1)

NF1(continued)
the NF1 clause constitute an independent clause and it is not necessary for the V1 and V2 to be adjacent
NF2

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths

Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

Marathi does not allow the equivalent of (20) even though it also has a vector correlated with its main verb de- give
3 Semantic bleachingThis unexpected variation in vector function takes onThis unexpected variation in vector function takes on dramatic form in Turkish
(21) a koşa-ver-iniz Hurry up and run
b i ccedilkis-in-i i ccedile-ver-didrink-his-Acc drink-GAVE-Pst3sgHe gulped his drink down
30
While (21a) in Turkish has an apparent parallel in Hindi-Urdus inverse CV de bhaagaa took off there is no Hindi-Urdu counterpart to (21b) that can be related to any cor-responding difference in the semantics of main verb ver- in Turkish as opposed to the semantics of main verb de- in Hindi-Urdu
3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingExample (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d-f)Example (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d f)represent its grammatical uses Examples (22b 22c) straddlebetween the lexical and grammatical use with the formerhaving a phonological break while the latter doesnt Thisaccording to Ono represents the iconic relationship holdingbetween phonological distance and conceptual distance In(22b) the presence of a phonological break has a two-eventinterpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaning
34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude
35
( ) p gtowards completion of a situation (example 23)

36
( y g ) g
In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)
10
3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question

that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents

The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred

Patterns of verb sequences in Newar
There are four types of verb sequences that involves the non-finite form of a verb in the V1 slot
NF1 (Non-Finite form 1)
bull The meanings expressed by this form are means manner temporal sequence temporal overlap causereason and concessive (Hale amp Shrestha 2006)
bull See Hale and Shrestha 1999 for details
NF1(continued)
the NF1 clause constitute an independent clause and it is not necessary for the V1 and V2 to be adjacent
NF2
4
NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar
bull The NF2 form is used to form an auxiliary verb phrase and this combination is the candidate for compound verbs in Newar
bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2
Auxiliary verbs that take V1 in the NF2 forms
Hale and Shrestha (2006 129)
Two types of compound verbs
bull Lexical compound verbs
Both V1 and V2 have lost their original meaning and forms a single sense in combination of the two

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways
6
g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

main verb in the language hellip historically stable very much unlike what has been documented for auxiliaries (Butt 200315)

to further reanalysis hellip light verbs are intimatelyconnected to their main verb counterpart in thelexicon They are so intimately connected that weassume just one lexical entry which can give rise toboth light and main verb meanings (Butt 200316)

2 Form-identicalness
However although Hindi-Urdu h-th- be also functions as an auxiliary of tense and mood there is no difference in form between its forms quaauxiliaries and the corresponding full lexical verb(example (15) and (16))
16
(example (15) and (16))So the presence of ldquoform-identicalnessrdquo does not in and of itself distinguish vectors from auxiliaries

19
Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)
2 Form-identicalness

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

36

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

1 Introduction
Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

1 Introduction
However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

Hook 2001a are exceptions)
1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

From the statistics given in Tables 1 through 4 it is clear that although the text frequencies of CVs vary from language to language in the four languages under investigation they share a common
19
investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts

27
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds

NF3 amp NF4 Compound verbs in Newar

bull However I have found one instance in which the V1 appears in NF4
The NF4 (infinitive) is used to express purpose with the ndashtapurpose suffix This is related to the use of the NF4 in this verb compounding the NF4 expresses posterior tense which indicates the V1 event takes place after the V2

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths

Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22

3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question

that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions

which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents

The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways
6
g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

to further reanalysis hellip light verbs are intimatelyconnected to their main verb counterpart in thelexicon They are so intimately connected that weassume just one lexical entry which can give rise toboth light and main verb meanings (Butt 200316)

2 Form-identicalness
However although Hindi-Urdu h-th- be also functions as an auxiliary of tense and mood there is no difference in form between its forms quaauxiliaries and the corresponding full lexical verb(example (15) and (16))
16
(example (15) and (16))So the presence of ldquoform-identicalnessrdquo does not in and of itself distinguish vectors from auxiliaries

19
Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)
2 Form-identicalness
Dictionaries specify forms for the imperative of koL- koo- when it occurs as a vector that are differentfrom those of koL-koo- as a main verbThese facts are not consonant with Butts andTantoss claim that historical changes that apply
20
Tantos s claim that hellip historical changes that applyto change the surface form of the verb (changes inmorphology form etc) will apply to both the lightand the main verb useshellip (2004126)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

Marathi does not allow the equivalent of (20) even though it also has a vector correlated with its main verb de- give

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

36
( y g ) g
In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)
7
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationIt has been noted that in Hindi CVs are not favored in negative polarity environments Hook (2001a) reports that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution CVs frequently occur in negative environments and especially in the jab tak clauses

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses
11
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of

In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally

grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptions especially in the South Asian languages

Masica (1976 150-51) Distribution of ECV and Analogous phenomenon
1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

1 Introduction
Th li t b i d f l d t f l i lThe explicator verb is drawn from a closed set of lexicalverbs GO COME GIVE TAKE PUTKEEP RISE FALLTHROW SIT etc which express motion or displacementand hence also are sometimes referred to as vector verbsVector verbs contribute various meanings to the ECVconcatenation such as modularities of aspect deixis and

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways
6
g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24

However the cross linguistic parallels in theHowever the cross-linguistic parallels in the meanings of vectors that are homophonous with main verbs meaning put or keep are the exception rather than the rule Let us look at some exceptions

3 Semantic bleachingHindi-Urdus vector de GIVE as in (20) has a muchHindi Urdu s vector de GIVE as in (20) has a much broader range of uses than its Marathi counterpart Some of these are at odds with those of Marathirsquos de GIVE and are not predictable from the semantics of the main verb give in either language
(20) na-jaane kidhar cal de-tiihai hellipNeg-know where move GIVE-Habitual
29
Neg know where move GIVE Habitual
No knowing where she goes off tohellip (Hindi-Urdu)
Marathi does not allow the equivalent of (20) even though it also has a vector correlated with its main verb de- give
3 Semantic bleachingThis unexpected variation in vector function takes onThis unexpected variation in vector function takes on dramatic form in Turkish

While (21a) in Turkish has an apparent parallel in Hindi-Urdus inverse CV de bhaagaa took off there is no Hindi-Urdu counterpart to (21b) that can be related to any cor-responding difference in the semantics of main verb ver- in Turkish as opposed to the semantics of main verb de- in Hindi-Urdu
3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude
35

36

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways
6
g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

main verb in the language hellip historically stable very much unlike what has been documented for auxiliaries (Butt 200315)

to further reanalysis hellip light verbs are intimatelyconnected to their main verb counterpart in thelexicon They are so intimately connected that weassume just one lexical entry which can give rise toboth light and main verb meanings (Butt 200316)

2 Form-identicalness
However although Hindi-Urdu h-th- be also functions as an auxiliary of tense and mood there is no difference in form between its forms quaauxiliaries and the corresponding full lexical verb(example (15) and (16))
16
(example (15) and (16))So the presence of ldquoform-identicalnessrdquo does not in and of itself distinguish vectors from auxiliaries

19
Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)
2 Form-identicalness

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

36

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

1 Introduction
Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

1 Introduction
However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

Hook 2001a are exceptions)
1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

From the statistics given in Tables 1 through 4 it is clear that although the text frequencies of CVs vary from language to language in the four languages under investigation they share a common
19
investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts

27
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds

1 IntroductionThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of theThe compound verb (CV) is one of the hallmarks of the South Asian linguistic area (Cf Masica 1976) and has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptionsCV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and vector verb V2 (aka explicator light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
2
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths

Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement

38

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark

contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question

that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo

Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43

The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)

A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally

grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths

(18) a ano ko wa moo otona ni natte shimatte iruthat child Top already adult to become PUT-CP be
21

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

However the cross linguistic parallels in theHowever the cross-linguistic parallels in the meanings of vectors that are homophonous with main verbs meaning put or keep are the exception rather than the rule Let us look at some exceptions

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude
35

36
( y g ) g
In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)
10
3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixesCompound verbs can usually be replaced by corresponding non-compound verbs with little or no difference in meaning translatable into languages (eg English) that lack them

1 Introduction
l i h b d h hRecently it has been asserted that the vector (aka light) verb constituents of the compound verbs (V1+V2) found in South Central and Northeast Asian languages differ in fundamental ways

g g yfrom auxiliaries of tense and mood(Butt 2003 Butt amp Geuder 2003 Butt amp Tantos 2004)
1 Introduction
A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally
7
grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths
1 Introduction
Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

Schiffman adds a footnote The extreme variabilityof the phonology of this aspectual verb bespeaks aradical departure of some sort that is one of thesymptoms of the process of grammaticalization(2005105)

2 Form-identicalnessIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a highIn Japanese the vector shimau PUT (AWAY) shows a high degree of phonological attrition In fact shimaursquos ablation to a suffix -chau is seen by Japanese linguists as a normal instance of grammaticalization (Ono 1992 372)

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y
24
the same range of meanings in languages x and y their vector counterparts should have the nearly the same distributions in x and y This seems to be true in the case of PUTKEEP in (19)

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

1 Introduction
Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

27
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a

4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds

A central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally

grammaticalization to be universally valid path-ways the vector verbs do not evolve along those paths

Vector verbs are said to be form-identical with their full verb counterparts while tense auxiliaries are not the light verb is always form-identical to a main verb in the language historically

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22

3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement

39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptions especially in the South Asian languages

Masica (1976 150-51) Distribution of ECV and Analogous phenomenon
1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

1 Introduction
Th li t b i d f l d t f l i lThe explicator verb is drawn from a closed set of lexicalverbs GO COME GIVE TAKE PUTKEEP RISE FALLTHROW SIT etc which express motion or displacementand hence also are sometimes referred to as vector verbsVector verbs contribute various meanings to the ECVconcatenation such as modularities of aspect deixis and

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30

Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions

which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question

that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions

g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect

The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the

3 Semantic bleachingExample (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d-f)Example (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d f)represent its grammatical uses Examples (22b 22c) straddlebetween the lexical and grammatical use with the formerhaving a phonological break while the latter doesnt Thisaccording to Ono represents the iconic relationship holdingbetween phonological distance and conceptual distance In(22b) the presence of a phonological break has a two-eventinterpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaning

interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

However the cross linguistic parallels in theHowever the cross-linguistic parallels in the meanings of vectors that are homophonous with main verbs meaning put or keep are the exception rather than the rule Let us look at some exceptions

3 Semantic bleachingHindi-Urdus vector de GIVE as in (20) has a muchHindi Urdu s vector de GIVE as in (20) has a much broader range of uses than its Marathi counterpart Some of these are at odds with those of Marathirsquos de GIVE and are not predictable from the semantics of the main verb give in either language
(20) na-jaane kidhar cal de-tiihai hellipNeg-know where move GIVE-Habitual
29
Neg know where move GIVE Habitual
No knowing where she goes off tohellip (Hindi-Urdu)
Marathi does not allow the equivalent of (20) even though it also has a vector correlated with its main verb de- give
3 Semantic bleachingThis unexpected variation in vector function takes onThis unexpected variation in vector function takes on dramatic form in Turkish

While (21a) in Turkish has an apparent parallel in Hindi-Urdus inverse CV de bhaagaa took off there is no Hindi-Urdu counterpart to (21b) that can be related to any cor-responding difference in the semantics of main verb ver- in Turkish as opposed to the semantics of main verb de- in Hindi-Urdu
3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingExample (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d-f)Example (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d f)represent its grammatical uses Examples (22b 22c) straddlebetween the lexical and grammatical use with the formerhaving a phonological break while the latter doesnt Thisaccording to Ono represents the iconic relationship holdingbetween phonological distance and conceptual distance In(22b) the presence of a phonological break has a two-eventinterpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaning
34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions

which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

2 Form-identicalness
We may conclude that the tendency overWe may conclude that the tendency over time for function as opposed to content verbs to undergo (or not to undergo) phonological attrition in a particular language or language family does not depend on whether they are
22
functioning as vectors or as auxiliaries of tense or mood
3 Semantic bleachingIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of aIs the contribution of the vector verb to the semantics of a compound verb something that needs to be separately accounted for Or is the meaning of the vector isotopic with that of its full lexical counterpart hence not subject to independent specification What are the consequences of this hypothesis If the isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect
23
isosemantic assumption were correct we should expect differences in the semantic range of a given lexical verb to be reflected by parallel differences in the range of functions of the corresponding vector And vice versa
3 Semantic bleachingThese correlations should be observable bothThese correlations should be observable both within and across languages As the semantics of a main verb evolve the functions and distribution of the vector should evolve pari passu If cognate lexical verbs have the same or nearly the same range of meanings in languages x and y

However the cross linguistic parallels in theHowever the cross-linguistic parallels in the meanings of vectors that are homophonous with main verbs meaning put or keep are the exception rather than the rule Let us look at some exceptions

3 Semantic bleachingHindi-Urdus vector de GIVE as in (20) has a muchHindi Urdu s vector de GIVE as in (20) has a much broader range of uses than its Marathi counterpart Some of these are at odds with those of Marathirsquos de GIVE and are not predictable from the semantics of the main verb give in either language
(20) na-jaane kidhar cal de-tiihai hellipNeg-know where move GIVE-Habitual
29
Neg know where move GIVE Habitual
No knowing where she goes off tohellip (Hindi-Urdu)
Marathi does not allow the equivalent of (20) even though it also has a vector correlated with its main verb de- give
3 Semantic bleachingThis unexpected variation in vector function takes onThis unexpected variation in vector function takes on dramatic form in Turkish

While (21a) in Turkish has an apparent parallel in Hindi-Urdus inverse CV de bhaagaa took off there is no Hindi-Urdu counterpart to (21b) that can be related to any cor-responding difference in the semantics of main verb ver- in Turkish as opposed to the semantics of main verb de- in Hindi-Urdu
3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingExample (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d-f)Example (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d f)represent its grammatical uses Examples (22b 22c) straddlebetween the lexical and grammatical use with the formerhaving a phonological break while the latter doesnt Thisaccording to Ono represents the iconic relationship holdingbetween phonological distance and conceptual distance In(22b) the presence of a phonological break has a two-eventinterpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaning
34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred

Marathi does not allow the equivalent of (20) even though it also has a vector correlated with its main verb de- give
3 Semantic bleachingThis unexpected variation in vector function takes onThis unexpected variation in vector function takes on dramatic form in Turkish
(21) a koşa-ver-iniz Hurry up and run
b i ccedilkis-in-i i ccedile-ver-didrink-his-Acc drink-GAVE-Pst3sgHe gulped his drink down
30
While (21a) in Turkish has an apparent parallel in Hindi-Urdus inverse CV de bhaagaa took off there is no Hindi-Urdu counterpart to (21b) that can be related to any cor-responding difference in the semantics of main verb ver- in Turkish as opposed to the semantics of main verb de- in Hindi-Urdu
3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the
31
character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the rendering of the grammaticalized usage Example (22 a-f) shows the spectrum from lexical to grammatical usages of shimau

3 Semantic bleachingExample (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d-f)Example (22a) represents the lexical use of shimau while (d f)represent its grammatical uses Examples (22b 22c) straddlebetween the lexical and grammatical use with the formerhaving a phonological break while the latter doesnt Thisaccording to Ono represents the iconic relationship holdingbetween phonological distance and conceptual distance In(22b) the presence of a phonological break has a two-eventinterpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaning
34
interpretation wherein shimau maintains its lexical meaningwhile (22c) with its absence of a phonological break has aone-event interpretation in which shimau does not have itslexical meaning Example (22d) shows a concatenation withtwo shimaus in a row The first one has the lexicalinterpretation while the second one is grammaticalized
3 Semantic bleachingIn present day Japanese a layering ofIn present day Japanese a layering of grammatical shimau and its phonetically reduced variant chau is encountered in which the full form marks the aspectual meaning (completeness) while the reduced form conveys what Suzuki (1999) calls the speakers negative attitude
35
( ) p gtowards completion of a situation (example 23)

36
( y g ) g
In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)
10
3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question

that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions

which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

3 Semantic bleaching
The Japanese vector shimau PUT (AWAY) also exhibits a profound degree of semantic bleaching As pointed out by Ono (1992371) some dictionaries even have a separate entry for the grammaticalized usage and the Ministry of Education in Japan is trying to abolish use of the Chinese character (which denotes its lexical meaning) for the

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

In other words the aspectual auxiliary is form-identical with its lexical counterpart while the attitudinal light verb is phonologically reduced These facts run counter to the prediction of Butt (2003) and Butt and Tantos (2004)

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement

4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of debate in traditional as well as modern linguistic descriptions especially in the South Asian languages

Masica (1976 150-51) Distribution of ECV and Analogous phenomenon
1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

1 Introduction
Th li t b i d f l d t f l i lThe explicator verb is drawn from a closed set of lexicalverbs GO COME GIVE TAKE PUTKEEP RISE FALLTHROW SIT etc which express motion or displacementand hence also are sometimes referred to as vector verbsVector verbs contribute various meanings to the ECVconcatenation such as modularities of aspect deixis and

1 Introduction
However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

In the Japanese constitution there are 4 tokens ofIn the Japanese constitution there are 4 tokens of the so-called ldquolexical compoundsrdquo (Kageyama 1993)yuzuri-watasu lsquohand overrsquo yuzuri-ukeru lsquotake overrsquo uke-toru lsquoreceiversquo 2 tokens) These are unitary lexical items and are listed in the lexicon In the Korean constitution there is one token of a
33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension
34

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses
11
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo
48
lsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo in Korean) are not attested

3 Semantic bleachingFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofFurthermore it is interesting to note that the acquisition ofthe reduced form -chau precedes its non-reduced counterpartndashte shimau Through the analysis of mother-child interactiondata Suzuki (1999) demonstrates that -chau which is themost grammaticalized form occurs much more frequently thanits full form counterpart ndashte shimauShe claims that the earliest meaning of -chau as shown to thechild by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitude
37
child by his mother is affective expressing a negative attitudetoward completion of a situation rather than mere completionThis according to her is one of the morphological tools that aJapanese mother uses in socialization trying to teach a childhow to behave how to move his own body and how theworld around him is structured
4 Entanglement
In a more recent study Butt and Tantos (2004)assert that the vector and its main verbcounterpart are so closely linked that if the eitherone disappears from its language then so doesthe former simultaneously
38
the former simultaneously
4 Entanglement evidence for the intimate connection between main andhellip evidence for the intimate connection between main andlight verb hellip is the observation that when a verb ceases toexist in a language then both the main and the light verbusage disappear simultaneously (if both exist) hellip if thelexical entry is deleted from the grammar of the languagethen both the main and the light verb use will cease toexist at the same time hellip This situation stands in stark
39
contrast to that of auxiliaries which tend to develop awayfrom the original main verb form until they are almostunrecognizable (2004126)
4 EntanglementFurther The available diachronic evidence showsFurther The available diachronic evidencehellip showsthat one never finds a light verb on its own there isalways a form-identical main verb in use as well(2004126)The clearest counter-example to this generalization is Hebbar Tamils kyo- which as a vector is cognate with Tamilrsquos kokoL CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but
40
with Tamilrsquos kokoL- CONTAIN (Sriram 2004) but which in contemporary Hebbar Tamil does not have a main verb counterpart kyo- is an orphan vector a status that by Buttrsquos claims should be impossible
11
5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th
11
the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

19
investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)
7
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Out of 10 occurrences of the ECV in theOut of 10 occurrences of the ECV in the Marathi constitution 7 are cases of composita tantum (sequences which behave like unit lexical items)raakhun ThevNe lsquoreserve + KEEPrsquo 5 tokens

27
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In the Marathi version of the IndianIn the Marathi version of the Indian constitution 3 expressions of the lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type are attested nemun deNelsquodesignate + GIVErsquo ghaalun deNe lsquoinsert + GIVErsquo khaatri karun gheNe lsquoassurance do + TAKErsquo A full sentence example

In the Japanese constitution there are 4 tokens ofIn the Japanese constitution there are 4 tokens of the so-called ldquolexical compoundsrdquo (Kageyama 1993)yuzuri-watasu lsquohand overrsquo yuzuri-ukeru lsquotake overrsquo uke-toru lsquoreceiversquo 2 tokens) These are unitary lexical items and are listed in the lexicon In the Korean constitution there is one token of a
33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension
34
pof the CVs power to express temporal anteriority
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationIt has been noted that in Hindi CVs are not favored in negative polarity environments Hook (2001a) reports that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution CVs frequently occur in negative environments and especially in the jab tak clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negation
These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances
40
Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses
11
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted

On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

4 Summary amp ConclusionIn sum an understanding of the influence ofIn sum an understanding of the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs helps us to understand the lexical semantic and discourse functions of the heterogeneous category of the explicator compound verb in South Asian and Northeast Asian languages

5 The end of the line
A central contention (Butt 200315 16) isA central contention (Butt 200315-16) is that while auxiliaries may evolve from full verbs over longer or shorter periods of time in ways deemed by students of grammaticalization to be universally valid
41
path-ways the vector verbs do not evolvealong those pathsHoweverhellip
5 Vectors do evolveThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in useThe verb la lsquoput placersquo was already in use as a vector in the 8th century CE and was also used as a suffixldquoThe absolutive form of the verb la used as an auxiliary has hellip become the mark of the

6 ConclusionWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonologicalWe conclude that any differences in the speed of phonological
attrition or semantic bleaching that may seem todiscriminate vector verbs from auxiliaries of tensemoodshould be ascribed to the greater text frequency of theauxiliaries and not to some fundamental or categorialdistinction between vector verbs and other kinds ofauxiliaries (cf Fidelholtz 1975 and Johnson 1983 asdiscussed in Newmeyer 1998256)

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

1 Introduction
Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

1 Introduction
However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

Hook 2001a are exceptions)
1 Introduction
The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th
11
the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4
12
and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

From the Marathi version of the Indian

From the Marathi version of the Indian constitution just one sample passage was selected

Since the Japanese and Ko ean constit tionsSince the Japanese and Korean constitutions are considerably shorter full texts of them were subjected to analysis

From the statistics given in Tables 1 through 4 it is clear that although the text frequencies of CVs vary from language to language in the four languages under investigation they share a common
19
investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone

In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question

that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)
7
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Out of 10 occurrences of the ECV in theOut of 10 occurrences of the ECV in the Marathi constitution 7 are cases of composita tantum (sequences which behave like unit lexical items)raakhun ThevNe lsquoreserve + KEEPrsquo 5 tokens

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

In the Marathi version of the IndianIn the Marathi version of the Indian constitution 3 expressions of the lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type are attested nemun deNelsquodesignate + GIVErsquo ghaalun deNe lsquoinsert + GIVErsquo khaatri karun gheNe lsquoassurance do + TAKErsquo A full sentence example

33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationIt has been noted that in Hindi CVs are not favored in negative polarity environments Hook (2001a) reports that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution CVs frequently occur in negative environments and especially in the jab tak clauses

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses
11
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always

The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo
48
lsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo in Korean) are not attested

4 Summary amp ConclusionIn sum an understanding of the influence ofIn sum an understanding of the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs helps us to understand the lexical semantic and discourse functions of the heterogeneous category of the explicator compound verb in South Asian and Northeast Asian languages

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

From the Marathi version of the Indian constitution just one sample passage was selected

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

33
complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension
34
pof the CVs power to express temporal anteriority
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationIt has been noted that in Hindi CVs are not favored in negative polarity environments Hook (2001a) reports that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution CVs frequently occur in negative environments and especially in the jab tak clauses

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances
40
Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses
11
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo
48
lsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo in Korean) are not attested
13
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn sum an understanding of the influence ofIn sum an understanding of the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs helps us to understand the lexical semantic and discourse functions of the heterogeneous category of the explicator compound verb in South Asian and Northeast Asian languages

1 Introduction
In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

Japanese ne-te shimau (sleep-CP keep aside) Korean ss-e nohta (write keep)Marathi khaa-un TaakNe (eat-CP throw) Hindi kar Daalnaa (doabsolutive throw)

Th t di f CV i Hi diThere are numerous studies of CVs in Hindi Marathi Japanese and Korean describing their morphology syntax semantics history areal distribution etc (Hook 1974 2001b Masica 1976 Abbi and Gopalkrishanan 1991 Verma (ed ) 1993 Butt 1995 Butt 2003

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs
2 Data collection and results
With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

However there are relatively few studies that focus on the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs in connected texts (Burton-Page 1957 Hacker 1958 and Hook 2001a are exceptions)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

complex predicate (na-o-n-da lsquocome out fromrsquo) which is an instance of a composita tantumNone of these are instance of an explicator compound verb
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsAs shown in the examples below (18 from Marathi 19 from Japanese and 20 from Korean) passages in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution or in the Japanese or Korean constitutions that would correspond to a passage in the Hindi version of the

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses
11
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

In his seminal work on areal linguistics Masica (1976) shows that the explicator compound verb (hereafter CV) is one of the hallmarks of the languages spoken in Northeast Central and South Asia (Masicarsquos Indo-Turanian linguistic area)The compound verb (CV) has been a topic of

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(III) Prior acts and conditions(III) Prior acts and conditionsHook (2001a) points out that in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution if-clauses expressing conditions that must be met before some law may come into force favor the appearance of compound verbs Hook views this as a metaphorical extension

These clauses contain a pleonastic negative element and lack positive counterparts Such clauses should be considered as functionally non-negative Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances

Further Hook notes that there is a set of instances of negated compound verbs which are almost always found in yadi-clauses

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(IV) Pleonastic negation(IV) Pleonastic negationThe yadi-clauses are functionally similar to lsquounlesshelliprsquo and lsquountilhelliprsquo type clauses In these clauses the force of the negative element seems to depend on whether one thinks of yadi nahII as expressing lsquoif not rsquo or as lsquounless rsquo The following examples adapted
41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

The influence of genre on the use of CVs remains an underexplored issue
The goal of our study is to shed light on th i fl f th

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

With a view to explicating the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs we investigated two contrastive types of texts (i) narrative prose (novels and short stories) and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4

and (ii) legal documents (constitutions) in 4 languages viz Hindi Marathi (Indo-Aryan) Japanese and Korean (Altaic)

investigation they share a common tendency
2 Data collection and results
CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation(I) Verbs always used in the CV constellation (composita tantum)In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution a verb like sAUp lsquoassign hand overrsquo occurs 8 times and in all its occurrences it co-occurs with the vector verb de - lsquogiversquo

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
When the operation-on-text reading is absent rakh-When the operation on text reading is absent rakhcan occur without the vector as in example (15)
30
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Like sAUp de lsquoassign hand overrsquo in (12) these text-operational expressions behave like composita tantum In the Hindi version of the Indian constitution there are 9 expressions
31
which can be classified as lsquooperation-on-textrsquo type expressionsrsquo

41
g p pfrom Hook 2001a illustrates it
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f
42
flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Neighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differNeighboring languages like Hindi and Marathi differ to a considerable extent in the use of CV both in legal documents as well as connected texts like narratives The lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in which Hindi almost always uses CVs almost always
43
y ycorrespond to simple verbs in the Marathi version of the Indian constitution Japanese and Korean are similar to Marathi in this regard They permit CVs for anterior actions in the colloquial style but not in legal documents
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
The variation observed in the use of CVs inThe variation observed in the use of CVs in lsquounlesshelliprsquo lsquountilhelliprsquo and lsquoif not rsquo type clauses in the Hindi version of Indian constitution on the one hand and the Marathi version of Indian constitution and the Japanese and Korean constitutions on the other might be related to the degree of
44
entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages
12
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi
46
Punjabi and Kashmiri] As for Japanese and Korean a more detailed study is necessary to precisely locate them on the evolutionary scale of CV systems
4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds
47
g g pof speaker attitude in sequenced episodes and sub-episodes in connected narratives as compared to legal texts where the expression of speaker attitude is barred
4 Summary amp ConclusionIn legal prose like the constitution asIn legal prose like the constitution as expected the so-called attitudinal vectors those which convey the speakerrsquos evaluation of the situation in question (eg Daalnaa lsquoto throwrsquo in Hindi basNe lsquoto sitrsquo Marathi shimaulsquoputpack awayrsquo in Japanese or pelita lsquothrowrsquo

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f

flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo

entrenchment of CV systems in their respective languages

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
45
language at a given point in time Stage I (lsquolexicalrsquo) gt Stage II (lsquorelative tensersquo) gt Stage III (lsquoperfective aspectrsquo)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage IIIHindi with a CV flux crossing 10 is at Stage III while Marathi with a CV flux of less than 3 to 4 is at Stage I These differences translate inversely into the freedom of occurrence of CV [see Hook (2001b 110-118 for the differences between Hindi-Urdu Marathi

4 Summary amp ConclusionOne common trend attested in all the four languagesOne common trend attested in all the four languages under discussion is that CVs are far more frequent in narratives than in legal texts (see Tables 1 through 4 above)One possible reason for this might be that there is greater room for using CVs to express various kinds

1 Introduction
CV is concatenation of two verbsmdashpolar verb V1 (aka as main or primary verb) and explicator verb V2 (aka vector light verb secondary verb intensifier operator etc)
The polar verb is in the conjunctive participle (or absolutive) form while the vector verb bears desinential affixes eg Japanese ne te shima (sleep CP keep aside)

In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a

the influence of genre on the occurrence of CVs

CVs are infrequent or disfavored in legislative texts like constitutions while they occur much more frequently in typically episodic texts like stories and novels
20
Why should CVs be disfavored in a legal text like a constitution
6
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24
operational expressions) (III) those expressing prior acts and conditions (eg if-clauses) and (IV) those that feature pleonastic negation (eg unless- and until-clauses)

(II) Operation on text(II) Operation on textAnother environment wherein CVs are favored in the constitution is in forms referring to operations which have been or are to be carried out on the text itself
28
Unlike composita tantum verbs the main verb (V1) in the case of text-operational expressions can be used alone
8
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
In example (14) the main verb rakh- put stating that under certain circumstances the text in question
29
that under certain circumstances the text in question will be replaced by another one expresses action on the text itself In such uses rakh- occurs in conjunction with the vector verb de - GIVE [diyaa GIVEN in example (14)]

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
Hook (1993) demonstrates that in general CVs are not favored in non-finite environments
H k (2001 ) tt ib t th f CV
21
Hook (2001a) attributes the rareness of CVs in legal prose to the fact that legal prose contains a large number of non-finite forms and to the un-connectedness of such texts
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
To gain insight into the core functions of the CV then the reasons for the presence of the few CVs that do occur in a legal text like a constitution that abounds in non-finite forms
22
constitution that abounds in non-finite forms are well worth exploring
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
For the CVs that do occur in the Hindi version of Indian constitution Hook (2001a) proposes a division of them into 4 classes
(I) th th t l l d
23
(I) those that are nearly always compound due to their inherent aspectual properties (composita tantum)
3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
(II) those that refer to operations on the text(II) those that refer to operations on the text itself a statement that specifies how some other statement in the text is to be read or one that moves changes expands limits or deletes some other statement in the text (text-operational expressions)
24

3 Why are CVs rare in legal texts
On the possible reasons as to why CVs occur in the otherwise p ydisfavored negative environments in the Hindi version of the Indian constitution Hook (2001a) observesldquoThe fact that the frequency of compound verbs in clauses of the jab-tak and theyadi type in the Indian Constitution does not differ much from their frequency inother kinds of texts may indicate that some functions of the compound verb havelittle or nothing to do with discourse structure Or it may mean that jab-tak andyadi constructions create small ripples of sequenced statements in the otherwisefl t d h i t l f f th C tit ti rsquo t t A th f

flat and unchanging temporal surface of the Constitutionrsquos text Another way ofregarding this difference is to observe that (unlike in stories) the foregroundedportions of a constitution are expressions sanctioning general states Exceptions tothem or restrictions on their applicability often involve the specific acts of specifiedauthorities actions which can be seen as temporally or logically prior to theconsequent acts or states the Constitution authorizes and legislates As priorconditions sanctioning later actions they are apt to condition the occurrence ofcompound verbsrdquo

In a comparative study of CVs in various languagesIn a comparative study of CVs in various languages of the Indo-Turanian area Hook (2001b 110-124) reports that rates of occurrence of CV in various South Asian and Central Asian languages vary and this variation can be correlated with differences in the stage of evolution of the CV system of a
