	Intransitive verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An intransitive verb is a verb that has only one argument, that is, a verb with valency equal to one.
		English is rather flexible with regards to verb valency, and so it has a high number of ambitransitive verbs; other languages are more rigid and require explicit valency changing operations (voice, causative morphology, etc.) to transform a verb from intransitive to transitive or vice versa.
		In (2), the verb is intransitive and the subject is the patient of the action, i.

	Transitive verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A transitive verb is a verb that requires both a subject and one or more objects.
		Verbs that don't require an object are called intransitive, for example the verb to sleep.
		Verbs that can be used in a transitive or intransitive way are called ambitransitive; an example is the verb eat, since the sentences I am eating (with an intransitive form) and I am eating an apple (with a transitive form that has an apple as the object) are both grammatical.

	Ambitransitive verb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		An ambitransitive verb is a verb that can be used both as intransitive or as transitive without requiring a morphological change.
		Ambitransitive verbs are common in some languages, and much less so in other languages, where valency tends to be fixed and there are explicit valency-changing operations (such as passive voice, antipassive voice, applicatives, causatives, etc.).
		Generally speaking, there are two types of ambitransitive verbs, distinguished by the alignment of the semantic roles of their argumentss with their syntactic roles.

		They are verb-centered; meaning that the basic clause structure consists of a verb, expressing an action involving one or more nouns — the arguments of the verb — that play specific semantic roles in the action and specific syntactic roles in the clause.
		The verb can be further modified by adverbs, or by additional nouns preceded by prepositions that indicate their semantic roles.
		In the latter, the verbs which use "be" as an auxiliary are unaccusative verbs, that is, intransitive verbs that show motion not directly initiated by the subject or changes of state, such as "fall", "come", "become".

		A verb is a part of speech that usually denotes action ("bring", "read"), occurrence ("decompose", "glitter"), or a state of being ("exist", "stand").
		A similar type of verb, the weather verb, exists in English, but its non-pro-drop nature requires that a dummy pronoun be used.
		A copula is a word that is used to describe its subject, or to equate or liken the subject with its predicate.

	Valency-changing derivations in Dulong/Rawang (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		When added to a transitive verb, this prefix creates a derived intransitive verb; if the subject of that derived intransitive is non-singular, then it will be interpreted as reciprocal; when added to an intransitive verb, the prefix can create a deverbal noun.
		The causative prefix derives transitive verbs from intransitive verbs, and ditransitive verbs from mono-transitive verbs.
		A third way of increasing transitivity is by the addition of the verb 'to eat (meat), bite' to the clause as an auxiliary verb.

	Ambitransitive verb - InformationBlast
		Generally speaking, there are two types of ambitransitive verbs, distinguished by the alignment of the semantic roles of their arguments with their syntactic roles.
		In the Romance languages, such verbs are rarely found, since the same semantic concept is covered by pseudo-reflexive verbs.
		In the example, the verbs romper, hundir and derretir are all transitive; they become intransitive by using the pseudo-reflexive clitic, and the direct object becomes the intransitive subject.

		Reduplication of verbs is of the whole root, and with active verbs it signifies reciprocal action (and intransitivization) or an iterative sense; with stative verbs it signifies intensification or plurality.
		There are intransitive, transitive, and ditransitive verbs, plus some ambitransitive verbs where the single argument of the intransitive use corresponds to the actor of the transitive use.
		When a verb is part of a predicate (verb complex), it can be preceded by an adverbial, a directional prefix, a negative marking prefix, and an aspectual prefix, and can be followed by the causative suffix, aspectual suffixes, and person marking suffixes.

		The rule in the first case is plural formation; in the second case, a transitive verb and a noun playing the role of its object can form a word.
		In English grammar, a transitive verb is a verb that requires both a subject and one or more objects.
		Transitive verbs that are able to take both a direct object and an indirect object are called ditransitive; an example is the verb give above.

		Active languages are characterized by their special treatment of intransitive verbs, according to the semantic role of their subject.
		(See morphosyntactic alignment.) In active languages, intransitive verbs are classified in two subtypes: the ones where the subject is typically the agent (performer) of the action (as in eat, run, cook), and the ones where the subject is typically the patient (undergoer) of the action (as in fall, die, and maybe sneeze and hiccup).
		In a number of languages, the unergative/unaccusative distinction is reflected in certain features of the verb; for example, in some Romance languages like Italian and French, unaccusative verbs form their complex tenses with different auxiliaries.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Unergative verb
		An unergative verb is a special kind of intransitive verb, which is distinguished semantically by the fact that the subject is perceived as actively initiating or actively responsible for the action expressed by the verb.
		Some languages treat unergative verbs distinctly from other intransitives in morphosyntactical terms.
		Besides the above, unergative verbs differ from unaccusative verbs in the fact that, in some languages, they can be passivized.

		For other intransitive verbs¸ liƙe `breaƙ` or `die`¸ S is semantically more liƙe 0¸ in that it is affected by the activity.
		In these languages NPs are marƙed `according to their actual [semantic] role in a given instance of the use of a verb` (p.29)¸ rather than (as in the vast majority of languages) simply according to their role in relation to the prototypical meaning of that verb.
		These linƙs include phenomena such as: ambitransitive (`labile`) verbs¸ which widely occur in both the S=O type (liƙe `breaƙ` in English) and the S=A type (liƙe `eat` in English); topics running through discourse (most liƙely S or A); and new information in discourse and noun incorporation (usually S or 0).

		In yes/no questions, the verb itself is fronted (as in English with auxiliaries).
		There is a curious phenomenon that takes place when an intransitive verb that is usually agentive takes an inanimate subject (or an otherwise semantically non-agentive one).
		This happens in particular with all the verbs of motion, which are assumed to be volitional and therefore agentive.

		The verb desaparecer, like its English translation disappear, is grammatically intransitive, but it is used in this word to imply causativity (so desaparecidos are people who were "made to disappear").
		Between 1976 and 1983, in Argentina, it is thought that up to 30,000 dissidents (9,000 according to the official report by the CONADEP [http://www.nuncamas.org/english/library/nevagain/nevagain_283.htm]), and people connected to them, were subject to forced disappearance under the military junta that was in power.
		In the case of forced disappearance the word "disappear", which is normally an intransitive verb, becomes transitive.

		As you may or may not remember from those long ago English classes, a transitive verb is one that has a direct object for its action, either (as the definition above says) expressed or implied.

	Lecture 2 Notes
		A transitive verb is a verb that is followed by a direct object – the action taken by the subject is transmitted (transitive) to the object of the verb
		Transitive verbs may be used with agent, instrument, caused or experiencer subjects, but not with patient subjects or the “it” subject (it is raining)
		Remember, a direct object is a noun phrase followed by the verb., and usually affected by the action of the verb.
