91examples, they state that discursive verbs are subject to combinatorics buttheir cooccurrents do not contain specialized meaning and, as a result, bothcan often be paraphrased. Connective verbs show restrictions regarding theuse of prepositions and can be paraphrased. Phraseological andterminological verbs show strong restrictions regarding combinatorics andparaphrases are not always possible.After analyzing each type of verb using these criteria and consi<strong>de</strong>ring thecognitive dimension (―specialized knowledge‖) and linguistic one (―specializedmeaning‖) of the verbs, Lorente and Bevilacqua (2000) and Lorente (2002) reach thefollowing conclusions. Firstly, discursive verbs are not specialized knowledge units orspecialized meaning units. Secondly, connective verbs and phraseological verbs can bespecialized knowledge units but are not specialized meaning units. Thirdly,terminological verbs are specialized knowledge units and specialized meaning units.This classification of verbs is graphically represented by means of a Venn diagram inwhich each group of verbs is part of a larger group (Figure 12).Figure 12.
