Subject: [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
