linguistics question
I never thought I would find myself ASKING a question on the English page, but as there are knowledgeable grammarians/linguistic experts here I am hoping someone can explain to me what "Syntactic and Lexical compound verbs". I understand the compound verbs bit as that is plain English it is the first part that has me stumped, Attempts to Google it just add to the confusion as any explanation seems to presume a good basic understanding of linguistic terms. BTW the Syntactic and Lexical compound verbs in question are Japanese, but I don't think that these terms are particular to that language.
