[Lingtyp] actionality and transitivity

[Wiemer, Bjoern]

Hi,
you might also like to have a look into a special issue of STUF, namely

STUF 2021; 74(3–4),

where you find a couple of relevant papers.

Best,
Björn.

You might consider Bill Croft’s 2012 book Verbs: Aspect and Clausal Structure.

Best,

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
