This paper is a synthetic overview in English of an anterior work in French (2017). In this paper we propose an analysis of the use contexts of three verbal units whose morpho-semantic structures present some similar features: the denominal verb 'proeliārī' and two support verb constructions ('proelium/-a facere' and 'proelia/-um gerere'). According to us, the three verbal units do not really have the same semantic value: the support verb constructions would not only be paraphrases of the denominal verb. Our corpus, compound from early Latin texts to late Latin texts (Vulgate and the first Church Fathers), has been chosen in order to propose a large view of these configurations.

Keywords: Support Verb Construction; Verbal Units; Denominal Verb; Early Latin; Late Latin; Church Fathers
