AN APPROACH TO THE FUNCTIONING OF BASIC IBERO-ROMANCE VERBS IN CATALAN LANGUAGE
The article considers the system of distributive relations between the verbs tenir - haver - esser - estar in modern Catalan language, and it is shown that the paradigm of constructions with the verb tenir both in quantitative and qualitative terms gives all grounds to consider it part of the system of correlations in the functioning of basic verbs. Closely connected to the latter the verb fer is also taken into consideration because of its significantly more frequent use in the languages of the Eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula, in particular, in Catalan, than in Castilian.
