Abstract
German and Dutch are two close Germanic languages that use posture and placement verbs very frequently. In both languages, these verbs are often combined with prepositional phrases: (Germ.) "etwas auf die Agenda setzen" ('put something on the agenda'), (Dut.) "iets op papier zetten" ('put something in writing'), etc. Among these phrases we are looking more particularly at the subcategory of complex noun-verb-phrases which are commonly referred to as "Funktionsverbgefüge" in German: (Germ.) "etwas in Bewegung setzen" ('put something in motion'), (Dut.) "iets ter beschikking stellen" ('put something at disposal'), etc. The use of posture verbs, which at first sight seems very similar in both languages, entails many differences that we want to identify. This study includes questions in semantics (meaning and conceptualizations of verbs; image-schemas), syntax (possible structures), but also in phraseology (constituent elements of verbal phrases). It is based on the models of Cognitive Linguistics and linguistic typology.
