<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Nice list, Adam. I notice that most of these verbs involve inducement to behave in a particular way, whether by trickery, force, or persuasion.
<br>
<br>
This doesn't seem to correspond to any of <a href="http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jlawler/levin.verbs">
Levin's classes</a>, but some of her other classes such as 02.13.4 overlap with it, and those classes even provide some new candidates. E.g., looking at 02.13.4, I think I could easily use soothe, surprise, startle, provoke, enrage ... in this construction
(and a quick web search seems to bear me out).<br>
<br>
Most of the other verbs on your list seem to involve physical transfer (put, bring, throw, drop, plunge, pour, ...). But I suspect that those are not actually instances of the construction in question, but rather come from spurious examples like "drop it into
boiling [water]," where "into" is a spatial preposition and "boiling" is an adjectival participle. A few of the verbs could plausibly be used in both constructions, such as "guide."
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">It's tempting to use a parsed corpus such as Annotated Gigaword to distinguish the two constructions. However, it's probably safer just to filter out cases where the -ing word is followed by a noun. These
cases could either be omitted from your analysis or analyzed by hand, but they are likely to confuse an automatic parser. Indeed, without context, "coax him into boiling water" is ambiguous even to a human.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">(Warning: "Followed by a noun" is not a perfect pattern, e.g., it won't catch "drop it into boiling and sulfurous water." You could play with the pattern: the question is whether "boiling" could plausibly be
the first word of an NP rather than a VP. I haven't looked at the data myself. Clever use of a probabilistic parser could identify cases that unambiguously use one or the other construction, versus doubtful cases, but unfortunately, pre-parsed corpora generally
only offer a single parse per sentence.)<o:p></o:p></p>
