Stillings, Neil A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975

Models are developed for a task involving transfer verbs "borrow" and "loan" and the possession verb "have." Models and theoretical framework are superior in some respects to constituent comparison and conversion models. (CHK)
