Is get over a phrasal verb in the following examples?

get over here, no
you don't get over cocky, depends on the context but I guess you should put a comma ; "you don't get over, cocky!" .(get over what?) This way, I'd say :no


As a phrasal verb, use "get over like" this:
I've finally got over all those hardships.

They are prepositional verbs with different idiomatic meanings. Some grammars, in their classifications of multi-word verbs, include prepositional verbs as well as free combinations of verb plus preposition in their classifications of phrasal verbs.

The reason it's not a phrasal verb here is that 'get', as the verb, is followed by three prepositional phrases. 'Get' is ellipted in the last two.
It is minimally possible that 'get over' could be phrasal in your sentence. In that case 'get though' and 'get round' could also be phrasal, as in:
He could not get over his wife's death, through the night, or round the fact that she was gone.
But phrasal verbs aren't normally used this way.
