For instance, terminological verbs areincluded in phraseological verbs which in turn are included in connective verbs, but therelation between terminological verbs and connective verbs in terms of their propertiesis not clear.

For example, she changes thelabel discursive verbs to performative verbs (verbs performatius del discurs), because
