State
Phase 5: State + Attribution- Utterance that contains a main state verb and a
supplemental/coordinated category of attribution
The
utterance would first be coded according to its main category (State) and then
the coordinated category and phase, attribution/4, would be added.
The
phase assignment for STATE could then be done- it would be 4 because it contains
attribution. Similarly, attribution is classified as Phase 4 because it occurs
in a state utterance.
