Pinker’s lexical rule approach<br />
The lexical rule takes a verb containing in<br />
its semantic structure the core ‘X causes Y<br />
to move into/onto Z,’ and converts it into a<br />
new verb whose semantic structure<br />
contains the core ‘X causes Z to change<br />
state by means <strong>of</strong> moving Y into/onto it.<br />
(Pinker 1989:79)<br />
