Summary/Abstract: The study is concerned with verbal phraseological units, i.e. verbal idioms (or multi-word verbal lexical units). In sentence structures they function as heads, they require that a specific number of syntactic positions be filled, and open positions for complements with specific grammatical and semantic properties. The valency of these units depends on their structure (morphosyntactic properties of their verbal and nominal elements) and semantics. Examples are provided, as is a typology of verbal phraseological units with regard to the syntactic models they realise.
