Abstract
This paper is based on the two aspects of PV V compositions: the language's status as lexical compositions and the lexical units which often function as morphologically complex predicates but consist of syntactically independent words. With Ackerman (1997, 2003), PVs in Serbo-Croation(Algonquian) and Hungarian(Ugric), which parallel many of the phenomena cited by Craig and Hale(1988), are syntactically independent words. PV V compositions in the languages are lexical units and are sometimes complex morphological units. So, Conditions on (in)separability are morphological and independent of the lexical status of PV V compositions and the PVs are neither clitics nor bound morphemes.
