Konstruiranje stvarnosti: glagolski način u svjetlu teorije kognitivne gramatike
Construing reality: "Aktionsart" in the light of the Cognitive Grammar theory

Summary/Abstract: English constructions with so called 'light' verbs hove, take, give and make should serve as a basis for establishing 'Aktionsart' as a cognitively and linguistically validated concept which under its name merges seemingly oposing elements of syntax and semantics. The concept of bounded-ness/unboundedness of the region profiled in the process of nominalisation leading to the creation of the 'light' verb's argument should substantiate conceptually deeply rooted formational potential of these periphrastic constructions.
