ABSTRACT
The group of ES designated in the preliminaries to Part II as “verbal” present syntactic and semantic problems of rather a different nature than those which we have encountered with the types of ES formed on be. I have a great deal less to say about these problems than I did about those seen previously in this thesis; as a result, this chapter is more accurately described as an addendum whose purpose is to present two matters which I think will be central to the fuller analysis of these cases which one hopes will be forthcoming. The two matters which I wish to mention are, first, that the two subtypes of verbal ES which were distinguished at the beginning of Part II must not be confused if the investigation of these cases is to get anywhere, and, second, that there seem to be principles determining the selection of possible verbs in the inside verbals which relate in some way to the semantic considerations investigated in connection with the quantification and predicate restrictions on the be cases, although the exact nature of the relationship is unclear to me. Each of these topics gets a section.
