Description
Summary:This paper deals with the Have a V construction, which is here mainly considered as a semantic unit. I will assume that its meaning is due to the similarities and differences that the structure bears with the Have an N construction. They both exemplify an operation of location which leads to two different values and which, in the case of the Have a V structure, has clearly to do with pragmatics. Strangely enough, speakers always use the construction on purpose, as an established language code. We intend to show how this code works.
