This section has reviewed a number of classifications of main verbs: Section 1.2.2 focused mainly on the syntactic tradition and provided a classification based on the number and types of nominal arguments that verbs take; Section 1.2.3 focused on the semantic (or rather philosophical) tradition and provided a classification of main verbs/events based on their aspectual properties. Given that language involves the pairing of form and meaning, it would seem preferable to combine the classifications that have emerged from these traditions. For this reason, we have taken two specific proposals that we found promising and shown that, to some extent, such a combination is indeed possible. Given the current state of the art, we were only able to illustrate this for a few prototypical representatives of the respective verb classes, so that future research is needed to determine whether this is possible more generally. A more detailed discussion of the syntactic classification of the main verbs, including a detailed discussion of non-nominal arguments, is given in Chapter 2.
