There have been unresolved debates on the role of "suru": whether "suru" in "VN-o suru" functions as a light or heavy verb. The previous studies attempt to disambiguate "VN-o suru" formations by relying solely on examining whether "suru" can be thematically light or not. This study argues that the ambiguity does not stem from the 'weight' of "suru" but from its accusative phrase: whether it is headed by a thematic (complex event) VN or non-thematic (simple event) VN. Using a principles and parameters approach and employing ideas from conceptual semantics and theories of aspect, this study demonstrates that the characterization of "VN-o suru" formations arises not from the dichotic behavior of "suru" but from the dichotic behavior of the accusative phrase. 410 0$aLinguistik aktuell ;$vBd. 29. 606 $aJapanese language$xVerb 606 $aJapanese language$xNoun phrase 615 0$aJapanese language$xVerb. 615 0$aJapanese language$xNoun phrase. 676 $a495.6/5 700 $aMiyamoto$b Tadao$0644552 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974040103321 996 $aThe light verb construction in Japanese$94347959 997 $aUNINA
