What does vt mean in part of speech

So if you cannot make a sentence passive, the verb may not be a transitive verb, but you need to check more closely. The usual name given to this particular role is the patient. We won't have much to say about these semantic roles, but they should not be confused with grammatical roles like direct object.

Note also that the direct object actually plays a much wider range of roles than the patient, but in these cases, it still has the same grammatical properties as the central cases in which the NP is a patient.

Skip to main content. As the examples in 1 above show, verbs like neglected must be followed immediately by a noun phrase called the direct object. It adds nothing to the discussion to ask the same thing again, especially when the answer has already been given. Thread locked. Questions are currently answered in about 30 minutes.

Ask a Question. Dear Bros! Please help me define what's difference between VerbI and VerbT? I read it on my dictionary notes, it beside a word to describe what's term of that word.

I don't really know exactlly what it was.. The "I" means intransitive. The "T" means transitive. Does that help?

Can you give some examples? Transitive verbs are normally followed by an object. I had an idea for a website that simply explains the word types of the words that you search for - just like a dictionary, but focussed on the part of speech of the words. And since I already had a lot of the infrastructure in place from the other two sites, I figured it wouldn't be too much more work to get this up and running.

The dictionary is based on the amazing Wiktionary project by wikimedia. This caused me to investigate the edition of Websters Dictionary - which is now in the public domain.

However, after a day's work wrangling it into a database I realised that there were far too many errors especially with the part-of-speech tagging for it to be viable for Word Type. Finally, I went back to Wiktionary - which I already knew about, but had been avoiding because it's not properly structured for parsing.
