      • p.hasType (Private)
        • phrasal verbs (main verb + adverb particle)
          • often have meanings which we cannot easily guess from their individual parts
          • object can come before or after the particle if the object is not a pronoun
        • prepositional verbs
          • an idiomatic expression that combines a verb and a preposition to make a new verb with a distinct meaning
          • always have an object
        • phrasal-prepositional verbs
          • e.g.
            • catch up with
            • come up against
    • “Implicit object” (IO) is a name for what happens when a verb we normally consider transitive appears without an object:"
      - [[p.hasSource]] https://repository.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1715&context=pwpl
      - "often argued that the IO needs to be recoverable from the context" but clearly not. 
      - "recoverability is a matter of degree. At a minimum, one simply knows that an object exists; at a maximum, one knows exactly what it is; and there is plenty of middle ground in between."
      - "manner verbs from result verbs and propose that result verbs
      
      do not allow IOs."
        - [[p.hasSource]] Rappaport Hovav and Levin (1998); Rappaport Hovav (2008)
        - but whether IOs are allowed isn't easy to distinguish
