A lexical verb is one that carries the content of a verb phrase. In 'I haven't been sleeping well lately,' 'sleep' is the lexical verb.

Mister Micawber,
I understand from your statement as such:
The root verb of a verb phrase is lexical verb.
The lexical verb can't be linking or helping verb.
It can be dynamic or stative verb.
Am I correct? |

Yes, except it may include linking verbs. I'm unsure.
