In linguistics , verb framing and satellite framing are typological descriptions of how verb phrases in different language s describe the path of motion or the manner of motion, respectively. Manner of motion refers to a type of distinct motion described by a particular verb, e.g., running, tumbling, sliding, walking, crawling, etc. Path of motion refers to the direction of the movement, e.g., movement into, out of, across, etc. These two concepts can be encoded in the verb as part of its root meaning, or in a separate particle associated to the verb a satellite . Languages are considered verb framed or satellite framed based on how the motion path is encoded. English language English verbs use Grammatical particle particles to show the path of motion run into , go out , fall down ref These particles into , out and down differ in usage from the same words employed as prepositions because they indicate direction of movement as an attribute of the motion, without specifying location together with the verb, they form a phrasal verb . When the same word is linked to a specified location e.g., run into the garden , go out of the house , fall down the hole , it is a preposition introducing a prepositional phrase. ref , and its verbs usually show manner of motion thus English is a satellite framed language. English verbs that counter this tendency are mostly Latin ate, such as exit , ascend , or enter . All Germanic languages are satellite framed languages. Accordingly, to go out is hinausgehen in German language German , uitgaan in Dutch language Dutch and g ut in Swedish language Swedish , wherein gehen gaan g are equivalents of to go , and hinaus uit ut are equivalents of out . In this manner, Germanic languages can form all kinds of compounds, even less manifest ones like German hinaustanzen to dance out and so on. On the other hand, all Romance language s are verb framed.

An anticausative verb is an intransitive verb that shows an event affecting its subject, while giving no semantic or syntactic indication of the cause of the event. The single verb argument argument of the anticausative verb its subject grammar subject is a patient, that is, what undergoes an action. One can assume that there is a cause or an agent of causation, but the syntactic structure of the anticausative makes it unnatural or impossible to refer to it directly. Examples of anticausative verbs are break , sink , move , etc. Anticausative verbs are a subset of unaccusative verb s. Though for the most parts both terms turn out to be synonymous, some unaccusative verbs are more obviously anticausative, while others fall , die , etc. are not it depends on whether causation is defined as having to do with an animate volitional agent does falling means being accelerated down by gravity or being dropped pushed down by someone ? Is old age a causation agent for dying ? . English language In English language English , many anticausatives are of the class of alternating ambitransitive verb s , where the alternation between transitive and intransitive forms produces a change of the position of the patient role the transitive form has a patientive direct object, and this becomes the patientive subject in the intransitive . For example He broke the window. The window broke. Some pirates sank the ship. The ship sank. Passive voice is not an anticausative construction. In passive voice, the agent of causation is demoted from its position as a core argument the subject , but it can optionally be re introduced using an adjunct in English, commonly, a by phrase .

Unreferenced date April 2007 A regular verb is any verb whose Grammatical conjugation conjugation follows the typical grammatical inflections of the language to which it belongs. A verb that cannot be conjugated like this is called an irregular verb . All natural language s, to different extents, have a number of irregular verbs. Auxiliary language s usually have a single regular pattern for all verbs as well as other part of speech parts of speech as a matter of design. Other constructed language s need not show such regularity, especially if they are designed to look similar to natural ones. The most simple form of regularity involves a single class of verbs, a single principal part the root linguistics root or a conjugated form in a given person, number, tense, aspect, mood, etc. , and a set of unique rules to produce each form in the verb paradigm . More complex regular patterns may have several verb classes e. g. distinguished by their infinitive ending , more than one principal part e. g. the infinitive and the first person singular, present tense, indicative mood , and more than one type of rule e. g. rules that add suffixes and other rules that change the vowel in the root . Sometimes it is highly subjective to state whether a verb is regular or not. For example, if a language has ten different conjugation patterns and two of them only comprise five or six verbs each while the rest are much more populated, it is a matter of choice to call the verbs in the smaller groups irregular . The concept of regular and irregular verbs belongs mainly in the context of second language acquisition, where the defining of rules and listing of exceptions is an important part of foreign language learning.

In contrast to regular verb s, irregular verbs are those verb s that fall outside the standard patterns of grammatical conjugation conjugation in the language s in which they occur. The idea of an irregular verb is important in second language acquisition , where the verb paradigms of a foreign language are learned systematically, and exceptions listed and carefully noted. Thus for example a school French textbook may have a section at the back listing the French irregular verbs in tables. Irregular verbs are often the most commonly used verbs in the language. In linguistic analysis, the concept of an irregular verb is most likely to be used in psycholinguistics , and in first language acquisition studies, where the aim is to establish how the human brain processes its native language. One debate among 20th century linguists revolved around the question of whether small children learn all verb forms as separate pieces of vocabulary or whether they deduce forms by the application of rules. ref Steven Pinker Pinker, Steven .

According to certain linguistics considerations, these objects may be called direct and indirect , or primary and secondary .
