CONTRIBUTIONS TO A PEDAGOGICAL GRAMMAR -- THE APPLICATION OF THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS

3.1 The experimental language test in German as a research tool in the investigation of errors in the realization of logico-semantic valence3.2 Discussion of selected verbs based on presented theoretical considerations -- possible application in a pedagogical grammar; 3.2.1 On the Agent-Object-Experiencer relation; 3.2.2 On the Benefactive notion; 3.2.3 Application of logico-semantic valence to locative verb types; 3.2.4 Observations on reflexivity; 3.2.5 On reciprocal verbs; 3.2.6 Verbs implying time relations; 3.2.7 On predicates of the type 'be hungry', 'get tired of'
