MULTIWORD VERBS PHRASAL VERBS PHRASAL VERBS ARE MADE UP OF A VERB AND A FOLLOWING PARTICLE (WORD TO REFER TO PREPOSITIONS OR ADVERBS IN OTHER CONTEXTS) DANIELA HANDED IN HER PAPER. THEY MAY OCCUR AS TRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS AND INTRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS . (1) (2) 1. MAGGIE LOOKED UP THE ADDRESS. 2. MAGGIE SAT UP. Fall into 3 categories – where the object NP can occur in relation to the verb and particle. TRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS AS LONG AS THE DIRECT OBJECT OF A SEPARABLE TRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERB IS NOT A PRONOUN, THE PARTICLE MOVEMENT RULE IS OPTIONAL. IF, HOWEVER, THE DIRECT OBJECT IS A PRONOUN (HIM, HER, IT, THEM, THIS/THAT, THESE/THOSE) THE PARTICLE MOVEMENT RULE MUST BE APPLIED. e.g. get back, pick up, take on, turn off a. John looked up the phone number. b. John looked it up. 1. SEPARABLE TRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS IT IS TO PUT LONG, “HEAVY” ELEMENTS AT THE END OF CLAUSES AND SENTENCES RATHER THAN IN THE MIDDLE. e.g. John looked up some information about the music festival in which his favorite band will perform. Although it is grammatical, to use the particle movement rule in the example above sounds clumsy Because the particle would be so far away from the verb. END WEIGHT PRINCIPAL A SMALL GROUP OF TRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS DO NOT ALLOW THE PARTICLE TO MOVE OVER THE OBJECT NP EVEN IF IT IS A PRONOUN. e.g. look into, come by, run into a. Don’t pick on my brother. b. Don’t pick on him. 2. INSEPARABLE TRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS A VERY SMALL GROUP OF TRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS REQUIRE THAT THE OBJECT NP OCCUR BETWEEN THE VERB AND THE PARTICLE. e.g. ask (someone) out, do (something) over, see (something) through a. The job is getting Janice down. b. The job is getting her down. 3. PERMANENTLY SEPARATED TRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS THEY MAY OCCUR AS PURE INTRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS OR ERGATIVE PHRASAL VERBS. INTRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS THE VERB PART OF AN INTRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERB USUALLY CANNOT BE SEPARATE FROM THE FOLLOWING PARTICLE BY AN ADVERB. e.g. come over, get together a. The plane took off quickly. 1. PURE INTRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS DESCRIBE AN ACTION THAT IS EXPERIENCED BY THE SUBJECT. e.g. die down, crop up a. Over the past two weeks, a number of problems have cropped up. 2. ERGATIVE PHRASAL VERBS SOME ERGATIVE COUNTERPARTS. VERBS HAVE TRANSITIVE a. The ship blew up. (ergative) b. The terrorists blew up the ship. (transitive counterpart) 2. ERGATIVE PHRASAL VERBS
