[Lingtyp] actionality and transitivity

Dear colleagues,

I am currently working on the verb morphosyntax (or “morphological
semantics”) of Modern Western Aramaic, a relic language still spoken in the
Qalamoun mountains of Syria. My aim is to develop a comprehensive
classification that integrates Vendlerian actional classes with features
such as syntactic transitivity and agentivity. This approach is driven by
the evidence I have encountered so far.

Could you point me to any studies or attempts that classify verbs by
combining these features?

Best wishes,

Sergey
