<H2>Other ways of forming verb phrases</H2>
<P>
Verb phrases can also be constructed reflexively and from
copula-preceded complements.
</P>
<PRE>
ReflV2 : V2 -&gt; VP ; -- use itself
UseComp : Comp -&gt; VP ; -- be warm
</PRE>
<P></P>
<P>
Passivization of two-place verbs is another way to use
them. In many languages, the result is a participle that
is used as complement to a copula (<I>is used</I>), but other
auxiliary verbs are possible (Ger. <I>wird angewendet</I>, It.
<I>viene usato</I>), as well as special verb forms (Fin. <I>käytetään</I>,
Swe. <I>används</I>).
</P>
<P>
<B>Note</B>. the rule can be overgenerating, since the <CODE>V2</CODE> need not
take a direct object.
</P>
<PRE>
PassV2 : V2 -&gt; VP ; -- be used
</PRE>
<P></P>
<P>
Adverbs can be added to verb phrases. Many languages make
a distinction between adverbs that are attached in the end
vs. next to (or before) the verb.
</P>
<PRE>
AdvVP : VP -&gt; Adv -&gt; VP ; -- sleep here
AdVVP : AdV -&gt; VP -&gt; VP ; -- always sleep

<B>Agents of passives</B> are constructed as adverbs with the
preposition <A HREF="Structural.html">Structural</A><CODE>.8agent_Prep</CODE>.

<H2>Complements to copula</H2>
<P>
Adjectival phrases, noun phrases, and adverbs can be used.
</P>
<PRE>
CompAP : AP -&gt; Comp ; -- (be) small

<P>
Verbs can change subcategorization patterns in systematic ways,
but this is very much language-dependent. The following two
work in all the languages we cover.
</P>
<PRE>
UseVQ : VQ -&gt; V2 ; -- ask (a question)
UseVS : VS -&gt; V2 ; -- know (a secret)
