The structure, and semantics of the verbal government

Jacob ~th~ lhe author's startin 6 point is the conception of the ~enerative transformational grammars about the verb and its subcate6orization m, les.ln the author's conception zne t~ansitivity of verbs is understood as a lar6e ca-t~c, ory ,:hich is not restricted to the government of accusative .hence the verbal government is a syntactic and ~em~L~tic c~tegory which determines the relations in the ~erb fhrase, i.e. the relation of the verb-as the do-~i~nt part of" that ~hrase-to the different adverbial oomplements.ln this way the verb is coasidered as a pre-cic~tive function with one or more variables. We shall try ~o refine the description of the subcate6orisation riles ~,ithin the framework of the system of Boole vectors. i~e s~natactic and semantic cate6ory of the verbal 6o-verhment is studied within the framework of ~he rewritin 6 rules and also in the system of the selectional (contex-tu~l) rl les. it is also discussed the place w~ich must be occupied in a £]enerative Erammar by the obli6atory and non-obliEa-to~y character of some forms of the verbal 6overnment It is also discussed the contextual or context-free nature ol the 6iron c~,tegory: of the verbal government.
