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.
