Light Verb Constructions in Corporate German Language The thesis deals with Light Verb Constructions (LVC) in corporate German. The research includes analysis of structure and frequency of LVC in the above mentioned field of business German. Syntactical, morphological and semantic characteristics of LVC were analysed as well as their function in corporate German. The annual reports from 2011 of ten German corporations from German blue chip stock market index DAX served as a material for the research. The planned corpus volume is approximately 8000 LVC. The thesis gives more complete insight into the tendencies of this poorly researched field of German language which is elaborated and presented with empirical instruments and analytic-descriptive means of contemporary linguistics. The thesis consists of four larger parts: 1. Introduction, which includes topic description, motivation and previous researches on the given topic. 2. Part two, in which the theoretical basis of LVC is given. 3. Part three, which elaborates syntactical, morphological and semantic characteristics of LVC as well as their effects. 4. Part four, which represents the results of corpus analysis. Demonstrating the gained results in conclusion, the author of the thesis suggests possible further researches of LVC in the field of business German, possibilities of contrastive analysis of the gained results with those in other languages and possibility of using the gained cognitions in teaching business German at the non-philological colleges.
