Active & stative verbs in biclausal sentences.

[Rankin, Robert L]

Yes, I wrote to David off-list just before he left for Vienna and he
says he didn't think they went into "syntactic activeness" (if it
exists), since each verb comes with its own set of pronominals that help
clarify relations.  Thanks for the ref though.

I think David Rood and Geraldine Legendre did a paper relevant to this
in Dakota, and that this paper has been published.  It may be listed at
John Boyle's bibliography site (or othewise discovereable on the web).
