There have been unresolved debates on the role of &#8220;suru&#8221;: whether &#8220;suru&#8221; in &#8220;VN-o suru&#8221; functions as a light or heavy verb. The previous studies attempt to disambiguate &#8220;VN-o suru&#8221; formations by relying solely on examining whether &#8220;suru&#8221; can be thematically light or not. This study argues that the ambiguity does not stem from the &#8216;weight&#8217; of &#8220;suru&#8221; 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 &#8220;VN-o suru&#8221; formations arises not from the dichotic behavior of &#8220;suru&#8221; but from the dichotic behavior of the accusative phrase. 05 This is a fine work exploring the interesting possibility of shifting the focus of research from 'suru' to VN, and presenting analyses of VN-o 'suru' forms from various perspectives while proposing several possible approaches. It provides useful data and food for thought for those working on LVCs not only in Japanese but in other languages. <br /> <br /> Masako Ohara in Journal of Linguistics 37, 2001 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/la.29.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027227508.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027227508.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/la.29.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/la.29.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/la.29.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/la.29.hb.png 10 01 JB code la.29.01abb vii 1 Miscellaneous 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Abbreviations</TitleText> 10 01 JB code la.29.02lis ix 1 Miscellaneous 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">List of Tables</TitleText> 10 01 JB code la.29.03pre xi 1 Miscellaneous 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Preface</TitleText> 10 01 JB code la.29.04int 1 1 Chapter 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">1.
