Causative get/have: supersense

Open nschneid opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

E.g. "get/have something fixed", "get my hair done". For "get my hair done", should "get" be v.change and "done" be v.body?

76 instances of VBN.*xcomp, most of which are this construction. (This doesn't count resultative PPs: "I got her on the phone".)

These might qualify as LVC.cause under the PARSEME 1.1 guidelines, though it's such a productive construction that I'd be reluctant to call these MWEs.
