The paper presents a detailed corpus-based analysis of the German prospective stehen vor NP light verb construction. The starting point of the analysis is the claim that the construction is restricted to change-of-state nouns in the NP-internal position (Fleischhauer & Gamerschlag 2019, Fleischhauer et al. 2019). Based on corpus data, I demonstrate that although the construction shows a strong preference for such nouns, other semantic types of nouns (such as state nouns or process nouns) occur in the construction as well. I argue that process nouns in particular require contextual support to be licensed within the construction. In the paper, I present an analysis of the prospective light verb construction in terms of current relevance. This analysis accounts for the observed preference for change-of-state NP-internal nouns as well as for the need to provide contextual support for process nouns. The notion current relevance is frequently employed in the analysis of the perfect aspect; the current paper represents the first attempt to extend this notion to the prospective aspect.*

前瞻性方面和当前相关性：德国前瞻性 Stehen vor NP 轻动词结构的案例研究

该论文对德国的前景进行了基于语料库的详细分析斯泰恩沃尔NP 轻动词结构。分析的起点是声称该结构仅限于 NP 内部位置的状态变化名词（Fleischhauer & Gamerschlag 2019，Fleischhauer et al. 2019）。基于语料库数据，我证明尽管该构造显示出对此类名词的强烈偏好，但其他语义类型的名词（例如状态名词或过程名词）也出现在构造中。我认为过程名词特别需要上下文支持才能在结构中获得许可。在本文中，我根据当前相关性对前瞻性轻动词结构进行了分析。该分析解释了观察到的对状态变化 NP 内部名词的偏好以及为过程名词提供上下文支持的需要。概念当前的相关性常用于完美相位的分析；当前的论文是将这一概念扩展到前瞻性方面的首次尝试。*
