This paper describes the combinatorial properties of agere in association with names that designate a scenic activity. I therefore examine combinations such as fabulam, tragoediam, comoediam, partes, gestum, personam agere. The aim of the work is to show that these combinations are verb-supported constructions, providing linguistic evidences. For this purpose, examples were collected through the examination of the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (TLL) and some of the tests in the literature were used (Langer, 2004) for the identification of such constructions (passivization, pronominalization, relativization and expansion of the predicative name). Moreover, the degree of syntagmatic cohesion between the elements of the construction and the semantic aspects of the combinations will be taken into account. The choice of the tests responds to the needs of a research based on a closed corpus without the possibility of using the judgment of the native speaker.

Abstract
This paper describes the combinatorial properties of agere in association with names that designate a scenic activity. I therefore examine combinations such as fabulam, tragoediam, comoediam, partes, gestum, personam agere. The aim of the work is to show that these combinations are verb-supported constructions, providing linguistic evidences. For this purpose, examples were collected through the examination of the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (TLL) and some of the tests in the literature were used (Langer, 2004) for the identification of such constructions (passivization, pronominalization, relativization and expansion of the predicative name). Moreover, the degree of syntagmatic cohesion between the elements of the construction and the semantic aspects of the combinations will be taken into account. The choice of the tests responds to the needs of a research based on a closed corpus without the possibility of using the judgment of the native speaker.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
