Concordances of the verb to satisfyWe can observe that in the concordances [1-5] the verb to satisfy displays twoarguments whereas in the concordances [6-10] it displays three. In fact, the concordancesreveal not only a difference in the number of arguments but also in the semantic nature ofthe arguments. In concordances [1-5], the first argument of the verb refers to inanimateentities: section, clause, evidence, lapse of attention. In contrast, in concordances [6-10],the first argument of satisfy is animate: the bands, Crown counsel, plaintiff, the Crown, thetrial judge. Even though the first argument is the syntactic subject of the verb in allconcordances [1-10], the semantic nature of the argument differs. What is more, inconcordances [1-5] the second argument of the verb denotes inanimate entities: section,requirements, rules of evidence, whereas in concordances [6-10] the second argumentdenotes animate entities: the Crown, you, the Court, them, himself. Syntactically, thearguments are the objects of the verb, but in the first half of the concordances theycorrespond to direct objects of the verb and in the second half they correspond to indirectobjects. Finally, in concordances [6-10] satisfy is followed by an additional argumentreferring to situations that linguistically occur as that-clauses (that a transfer of funds...,that he is..., that despite her many deviations..., etc.).
