Transitive: e.g.,see, know, love: quite different from intransitive: indicating that something has been changed. I 90 Active/passive/Geach: "Smith is shaving Smith": there is a big difference: to shave Smith or to be shaved by him. >Transitivity, >Actions, >States, >Change, >Verbs, >Predicates, >Grammar._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
