1.2.Verb classifications
quickinfo
The pairing of semantic and syntactic properties of morphologically simple words is largely non-arbitrary (unlike the pairing of their sound and meaning: cf. De Saussure 1916). This is especially true for the selection properties of verbs; for example, whether a verb is intransitive or transitive depends on the number of participants involved in the state of affairs denoted by the verb. This section presents a number of approaches to this issue. Section 1.2.1 begins with the basic distinction between main and non-main verbs, and discusses a number of properties of these two classes, while recognizing that there are verbs that are somewhat hybrid in nature. The remaining sections focus on the classification of main verbs: Section 1.2.2 discusses a number of properties that enter into the syntactic classification of verbs, and proposes a partly novel syntactic classification based on the number and types of nominal arguments they take; Section 1.2.3 reviews a number of semantic classifications that build on and revise the four-way classification between events, activities, accomplishments, and achievements originally proposed in Vendler (1957); finally, Section 1.2.4 addresses the question as to how far it is possible to link the proposed syntactic and semantic classifications.
