d) Manipulation verbs
The human agent-subject of the main clause, headed by a manipulation verb,
manipulates the behavior of a manipulee, being coreferential with the agent of the

complement clause in which the verb often appears as a verbal noun coded as an
indirect object, as shown in (27a-b).

e) Perception, cognition or utterance (PCU) verbs
The subject of this kind of verbs perceives or cognizes a state or event, or
utters a proposition concerning a state or event. What perceived or cognized or uttered

is corresponded in the complement clause. The complement clause in this
environment functions as the object of the mental or verbal activity that the main

clause depicts but there are reasons for not assigning it as the direct object, as shown
in (28a-c).
