Polysemous verbs — such as get, make, put, set, take, turn — present difficulties in understanding and, therefore, in translating. Unfortunately, bilingual or monolingual dictionaries are generally not very helpful because they list various synonymous words or expressions in an apparent mixture of meanings. A common classification in nine categories is proposed here. Each category is defined in terms of two primary semantic features, one selected out of [ + stative], [ +dynamic / +causative], [ + dynamic/‐causative] and one out of [ + essive], [ +possessive], [ +performing]. |
