Subject: Semantic Types of the (English) Predicative Verbs


I am currently looking for an account on the semantic types of predicativeverbs. Ray Jackendoff (‘Semantic structures’) and other scholars mentionCAUSATIVES, INCHOATIVES, INGRESSIVES, RESULTATIVES… Keith Allan (‘Naturallanguage semantics’) mentions FACTIVES (know, realise...), IMPLICATIVES(forget, happen to...), ASPECTUALS (begin, continue...), ITERATIVES(return, repeat...).

Do you know other books or articles that make a systematic andcomprehensive account on the semantics of verbal predications? I amparticularly interested in English, but examples from other languages arealso welcome.

Thank you and best regards,Mihai Frumuselu
