“…The framework of verb classes and alternations has been applied to Old English throughout a series of studies that aim at organising the verbal lexicon of this historical stage of English on a principled grammatical basis. This includes, among others, verbs of feeling , verbs of existence , verbs of rejoice (Martín Arista, 2020a), end verbs (Author, 2020), try verbs (Author, 2021) verbs of increasing (Lacalle Palacios, 2021a), verbs of depriving (Lacalle Palacios, 2021b) and aspects of some specific constructions (Martín Arista & Author, 2018;Martín Arista, 2020b. The works cited above share the main theoretical underpinnings of the framework of verb classes and alternations, namely that meaning components restrict grammatical behaviour and that verbal classes must be defined on the basis of common meaning components and morphosyntactic realisations.…”
