This paper aims at analyzing the distribution of dare and facere in support verb constructions, when co-occurring with motion and physical implication nouns, such as hitting nouns. The latter usually select dare, whereas the former can co-occur with both verbs, although the use of dare is marked and restricted to telic verbs. This distribution is explained as a metaphorical shift from spatial boundaries to telicity. The possibility of a relationship with the spread of dar in the Iberian peninsula is hinted at.

Abstract
This paper aims at analyzing the distribution of dare and facere in support verb constructions, when co-occurring with motion and physical implication nouns, such as hitting nouns. The latter usually select dare, whereas the former can co-occur with both verbs, although the use of dare is marked and restricted to telic verbs. This distribution is explained as a metaphorical shift from spatial boundaries to telicity. The possibility of a relationship with the spread of dar in the Iberian peninsula is hinted at.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
