Traditional grammars of Malayalam like Rajaraja Varma (1917), Gundert (1868), Mathen (1863) and Seshagiri Prabhu (1898) have discussed the morphological aspects and in a limited way, the syntactic aspects of aak and un�t�ŭ, the two conjunctive verbs in Malyalam. They denote a state of being and not an action. The semantic role associated with the subjects of conjunctive verbs is that of experiencer. They do not take an agent noun as their subject. = Introduction – Conjunctive Verbs Conjunctive verbs (also referred to as copular verbs or existential verbs) in Malayalam are capable of functioning as the main verb, but are grammatically and semantically different from action verbs.
