| | LINGUIST List 11.544: Subcategorization, Ejective Dissimilation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12) |
 | | This sounds trivial, but considering tense is a extralinguistic feature it should not, in ideal, affect subcategorization of words. |
 | | But the sentence becomes clearly grammatical if it used in a subjunctive clause as in, "If I had planned, I would have done better." I'm suspecting that there are words that change their subcategorization with each verbal categories: valence, voice, aspect, tense, agreement (person, number, gender), and mood. |
 | | If this is true, we may have to take another serious look at subcategorization and we may have another way of classifying verbs. |
