Phase 4: Action + Attribution- Utterance that contains a main action verb and a supplemental/coordinated category of attribution.
The utterance would first be coded according to its main category (Action) and then the coordinated category and phase, attribution/4, would be added.
The phase assignment for ACTION could then be done- it would be 4 because it contains attribution.
