New Classification System Reveals Hidden Complexity in Language Structure.
The article discusses how clauses in language can be classified based on their transitivity. Traditional definitions of transitivity have limitations, so the authors propose a new classification system based on Event Views. This system categorizes clauses as transitive, intransitive, or non-transitive, using the SVN structure to represent each type. By analyzing Chinese clauses, the authors show how this classification helps differentiate between different types of clauses based on their semantic structures.
