Verb classes<br />
• Class II verbs share a common meaning<br />
with “verbs of creation <strong>and</strong> transformation”<br />
• Levin 1993: These verbs take “as one<br />
argument an agent that creates or<br />
transforms an entity.” They take “what are<br />
called ‘effected objects’ – objects brought<br />
into existence as a result of the action<br />
named by the verb.”<br />
