One verb category in English may correspond to two or more different verb
categories in German and Dutch, depending on clause type (main vs.
subordinate), and also depending on other aspects of argument order – for
example, in main clauses, it is often the subject that appears before the verb,
but not always.
We do not aim to capture multiple argument orders with the same category,
nor do we aim to make verbs combine with their arguments in any particular
order (e.g., by obliqueness). We just write verb categories so that they first
combine with their right-hand arguments (from left to right) and then with
their left-hand arguments (from right to left):
Extracted arguments are assumed to have their canonical position at the
right periphery:
