Abstract

Abstract Each language has intransitive and transitive clause types. There is frequently a further minor—but still important—type: copula clause. This has as predicate a copula verb, taking two core arguments, Copula Subject (CS) and Copula Complement (CC).The predicate in an intransitive or transitive clause has reference. A copula verb as predicate is different in that it has relational rather than referential meaning.
