Аннотация:The chapter contains an overview of V–V complexes in Turkic languages and three case studies of the interaction of V–V complexes with lexical verbs based on field data of Karachay-Balkar, Anatri Chuvash, and Tubalar Altai. The chapter shows that the meaning of a modifier is not uniform but interacts with the meaning of the lexical verbs. Modifiers have different interpretations and/or lexical restrictions that in most cases may be predicted from the semantic features of the lexical verb. If a modifier changes the actional structure of the lexical verb, its specific meaning may be predicted from the actional class of the verb. If a modifier changes the argument structure of the lexical verbs or has a modal meaning, the most relevant features are the volitivity and agentivity of the lexical verb.
