verbs

  • verbs of perception

  • verbs like

    They extend (and over-extend) the words they can produce; they rely on deictic terms like that ; and they use general purpose verbs like do and go .
  • infinitive after verbs

    The sort of problem we are addressing here — finding a semantic explanation for the distribution of the infinitive after verbs of perception in the passive — is treated in a diametrically opposite way by formal-grammar truth-semantics accounts such as that of Higgenbotham 1983.
