abstract = "Expressions with an aspectual variant of a light verb, e.g. {`}take on debt{'} vs. {`}have debt{'}, are frequent in texts but often difficult to classify between verbal idioms, light verb constructions or compositional phrases. We investigate the properties of such expressions with a disputed membership and propose a selection of features that determine more satisfactory boundaries between the three categories in this zone, assigning the expressions to one of them.",
