---1 The construction of verb phrases
-
-abstract Verb = Cat ** {
-
---2 Complementization rules
-
--- Verb phrases are constructed from verbs by providing their
--- complements. There is one rule for each verb category.
-
- fun
- UseV : V -> VP ; -- sleep
-
- ComplVV : VV -> VP -> VP ; -- want to run
- ComplVS : VS -> S -> VP ; -- say that she runs
- ComplVQ : VQ -> QS -> VP ; -- wonder who runs
- ComplVA : VA -> AP -> VP ; -- they become red
-
- SlashV2a : V2 -> VPSlash ; -- love (it)
- Slash2V3 : V3 -> NP -> VPSlash ; -- give it (to her)
- Slash3V3 : V3 -> NP -> VPSlash ; -- give (it) to her
-
- SlashV2V : V2V -> VP -> VPSlash ; -- beg (her) to go
- SlashV2S : V2S -> S -> VPSlash ; -- answer (to him) that it is good
- SlashV2Q : V2Q -> QS -> VPSlash ; -- ask (him) who came
- SlashV2A : V2A -> AP -> VPSlash ; -- paint (it) red
-
- ComplSlash : VPSlash -> NP -> VP ; -- love it
-
- SlashVV : VV -> VPSlash -> VPSlash ; -- want to buy
- SlashV2VNP : V2V -> NP -> VPSlash -> VPSlash ; -- beg me to buy
-
---2 Other ways of forming verb phrases
-
--- Verb phrases can also be constructed reflexively and from
--- copula-preceded complements.
-
- ReflVP : VPSlash -> VP ; -- love himself
- UseComp : Comp -> VP ; -- be warm
-
--- Passivization of two-place verbs is another way to use
--- them. In many languages, the result is a participle that
--- is used as complement to a copula ("is used"), but other
--- auxiliary verbs are possible (Ger. "wird angewendet", It.
--- "viene usato"), as well as special verb forms (Fin. "käytetään",
--- Swe. "används").
---
--- *Note*. the rule can be overgenerating, since the $V2$ need not
--- take a direct object.
-
- PassV2 : V2 -> VP ; -- be loved
-
--- Adverbs can be added to verb phrases. Many languages make
--- a distinction between adverbs that are attached in the end
--- vs. next to (or before) the verb.
-
- AdvVP : VP -> Adv -> VP ; -- sleep here
- AdVVP : AdV -> VP -> VP ; -- always sleep
-
--- *Agents of passives* are constructed as adverbs with the
--- preposition [Structural Structural.html]$.8agent_Prep$.
-
-
---2 Complements to copula
-
--- Adjectival phrases, noun phrases, and adverbs can be used.
-
- CompAP : AP -> Comp ; -- (be) small
- CompNP : NP -> Comp ; -- (be) a man
- CompAdv : Adv -> Comp ; -- (be) here
