If, at the beginning of processing no mainverb is found, the system considers two possible relational verbs: have and be. In addition, the semantic case preferences for the mainverb are added to the resulting frame. If they did, then we would expect mainverb usages to appear, which are common in other languages where modals are main verbs. Therefore, the unit of production during lexical selection must be either a basic clause or an utterance without a mainverb. So far the results confirm that modifier uses of epistemic verbs have significantly higher zero rates than mainverb uses. The speaker's stance is neither necessarily contained in the mainverb nor in get, but is retrievable from the context. To demonstrate this point, consider one of the clause types discussed earlier, clauses with the finite auxiliary after the nonfinite mainverb. The inputs to the network consisted of five word positions: an introductory word, an optional adjective, the subject noun, an adverb, and the mainverb. Each conversation was divided into basic clauses, defined as utterances that contain maximally (but not minimally) one mainverb. The finite verb may be either a mainverb or an auxiliary. The priming studies that were reviewed supported a prediction that gender agreement marking would facilitate processing of the subject noun and/or the mainverb. Ten percent of the participants' use of do as a mainverb was independently coded by a different research assistant for each round. Grammatically the subjunctive clause, instead of being the object of the mainverb, becomes its adverbial modifier. Both cases involve non-finite complements, of a mainverb in (i) below, and of a copula in (ii). The temporal anchoring accomplished by moving the mainverb is now accomplished by the verb combinationin ' 'is running' '. A proposition contains only one mainverb with its arguments such as the subject, the object, adverbial phrases, etc. Because the adverbial is only linked to the mainverb, which is after the conjunction, the procedure makes the wrong choice. The basic features we selected are: the mainverb in each adnoun clause, the adnominal verb ending, and the head noun in the noun phrase. For higher-level constituents per word and number of words before the mainverb of a clause, no significant differences were noted. Factor groups included in the run were corpus, mainverb class, and location of the activity. The only exception to this is with have as a mainverb. Understand that a complete sentence requires a mainverb, and the part which the mainverb plays in a sentence. 4c. Structurally, they can have normal declarative order, various types of preposing, subject-auxiliary inversion, an infinitive mainverb, and so on. Using this method, the subjects produced 18 negated subordinate clauses, 6 clauses with main verbs, and 12 clauses with auxiliary and mainverb. A context was considered obligatory if the mainverb was inflected with -ing. Retention is reflected in differences in the mainverb types with which the two auxiliaries are used. The results for both corpora with respect to the distribution of mainverb types are nearly identical. In example 11, sins is initially interpreted as the object of confessed, an analysis that must be revised when the mainverb harmed is encountered. Here, the term "basic clause" will be used to indicate utterances that contain maximally (but not minimally) one mainverb. That is, it can function either as an auxiliary verb, like the modals, or as a mainverb, like the full verbs. The mainverb then raises past the object and adjoins to the finite auxiliary. An apparent mainverb use of an epistemic verb may carry an implicature that the speaker would assert the associated clause, as in (i). The auxiliary is regarded only when it is separated from the mainverb. Indeed, the examples provided above give only one instance of get functioning as an auxiliary; in all other cases, get/got is the mainverb. Specifically, sentences in which zero to was scored for adults were questions containing the mainverb want followed by an infinitive (98% of the time). The remaining task for the subjects was thus to change the morphological form of the mainverb. However, in the next exchange, with the same mainverb, the meaning is frequentative-habitual. Both authors mention that there are sometimes mismatches between auxiliary and mainverb, but they do not discuss the reasons behind this. The majority of third-person epistemic verbs that were not embedded under a verb of saying, such as (47) below, were classified as mainverb uses. Accordingly, the verb is used in a mainverb sense, but the embedded clause may be said to be (weakly) asserted by implicature. The two chief clues to mainverb uses implicit in his discussion contrast directly with identified characteristics of modifier uses. Unlike now, there is no alternative lexical meaning for please (unless, of course, it is a mainverb). She also presents the way in which the foregrounded ending is effected by postponing the main clause or the mainverb. That would appear to be reinforced here by a semantic relationship between the mainverb components and the particles. The inflectional system is regular, there is repetition of the mainverb and all of the verbs are monosyllabic. For verb phrases, the headword is the mainverb, unless they are introduced by a conjunction, in which case the conjunction is the headword. In both cases, we are presented with an event by the mainverb which arouses background expectations of some sort. The mainverb in a finite clause can agree with the subject and show tense distinctions. But if be is a mainverb at all, it is a remarkably odd one. The absence of a mainverb tells us that an elliptical or wholly idiomatic utterance is involved and that special handling is required. Instead of the mainverb subject's wish or determination to have the subjunctive subject act conformably, we have the main subject fearing that the subjunctive subject will act negatively. The problem that head-initial accounts cannot resolve without stipulation is that the position of arguments is not independent of the positions of the finite auxiliary and nonfinite mainverb. For the modal can probes, we examined all responses that contained an uninflected mainverb and determined whether the mainverb was preceded by a modal. Since fronting of the mainverb in questions and negation without do are no longer productive, the new modals are grammatically distinguished from the modals that emerged earlier. Chapter 7 treats the simplification of biclausal structures and formulates the principle that when two clauses are fused the mainverb governs the syntax of the reflex clause (193). Furthermore, the fact that these senses make up a small portion of the mainverb uses of get supports a compositional approach to this verb's meaning. A basic or deep clause contains one and only one mainverb, in contrast to the finite or surface clause, which contains one and only one finite verb. In clauses with this word order (cf. examples (3c,d) above), the object following the auxiliary must be postposed since it isn't adjacent to the mainverb. We might therefore expect to see this pattern occurring also in the case of the two haves, with auxiliary have behaving like will and mainverb have behaving like swim. One is with mainverb trabajando 'working'. Each mainverb (know, decide, forget and remember) required a slightly different set-up in order to elicit an appropriate response due to the semantic content of the verb. I propose that the high zero rate with epistemic verbs is triggered (at least in part) by their use with modifier senses, in contrast to mainverb senses. The data were also coded for the epistemic verb lexeme (think, believe, feel), the person of the epistemic verb subject, and modifier and mainverb uses. Finally, there are two categories covering the use of be going to in conditional contexts, either as part of the protasis or as the mainverb of the apodosis. But non-finite, infinitival utterances are still very common and account for about 50 % of his main verb use (or 40 % of all verb tokens including copulas and auxiliaries). This repetition of the mainverb may facilitate early stages of verb acquisition if it allows children to notice similar verb uses across these different contexts. The only effect, as we see it, is to leave out the substantive clause containing the mainverb of the sentence, and the effect would be meaningless. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 It is always difficult for him to stop in the middle of a sentence because often he uses only one mainverb in the course of a speech.

In some cases the non-finite clause itself has an auxiliary as its mainverb, with another embedded non-finite clause as complement.

The most ubiquitous auxiliary, "izan," can be used in any of these paradigms, depending on the nature of the mainverb.

They are also often introduced by a mainverb followed by the particle "to" (as illustrated in the examples below).
