<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">As opposed to to "I became happy"?</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>yes - interesting idea, since
<I>became</I> is clearly connected with <I>come</I>...maybe the verbs of
motion are used to indicate the fact that one is not
happy/sad/bankrupt/apeshit <I>per se</I> but only through some
metaphorical movement. The negative/positive split is maybe too because
negativity is my fault and positivity the act of others...(I haven't fully
thought that last through, would welcome comments).</SPAN>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-style-span>Also, <I>to get</I> plays a part.
I got really happy (is this more often used with intensifiers, I wonder?), I
got sad. This is really getting out of hand :)</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-style-span>Again this <I>getting</I> thing implies
input from outside forces. Interesting sociolinguistics here.<BR>
