(Subject – intransitive / Link Verb – Adverbial) where the locative semantics is
expressed by both the verb of movement / location and the adverbial of place;
* It is an arguable point whether these patters are separate ones or variants of
other basic patterns.
o Verbs with more than one meaning, e.g. get, make, grow, etc., can have mul-
tiple valencies ĺ build up different sentence patterns.
o Basic, or unexpanded, sentence patterns are language units ĺ include only
obligatory sentence constituents. When they are actualised in speech as utter-
ances, not only syntactic positions are filled with definite words, but also op-
tional constituents – Adverbials and Attributes (as parts of S / O / C) – are often
added ĺ the sentence becomes expanded and gives more detailed information
about a particular situation.

THE SEMANTIC PATTERN OF THE SENTENCE
o Language means model and represent situations of objective reality. The
simplest correlation is as follows.
