Abstract

This chapter is concerned with the literal or figurative interpretation of the caused-motion construction and aims to identify the constructional meanings of intransitive non-motion verbs occurring in this construction thus coerced into transitivity through processes of metaphorization. The theoretical goal is pursued with reference to the framework of the Lexical-Constructional Model.
