The Language of Control and Non-Control Actions
The language makes pretty pervasively make the distinction between control or non-control actions. The reason it matters so much is because there are voice change possibilities and rules. So, for example, the archaic middle voice cannot be used with a plus control verb. And I like that in terms of naturalism having restraints and restrictions and actually thinking about that. That was mean. You're thinking about the semantics of your verbs a little bit more,. Ooh, this is interesting. I found this thing on classification, and I've actually looked at doing something like this before. But basically, it's under the classifier used, and there are... Looks like maybe a couple dozen of them.
