Phase 5 Locative Action + Denial: Use of denial within an utterance that has a main category of Locative Action (i.e., there is a single-verb in the utterance and it is an Locative Action verb).
The utterance would first be coded according to its main category (Locative Action) and then the coordinated category and phase, denial/5, would be added.
The phase assignment for Locative Action could then be done- it would be 5 because it contains denial.
