what in other frameworks is referred to as "applicatives." The different NAF constructions are, in effect, different semantic subclasses of transitive verbs, each imposing a characteristic semantic interpretation on its Patient (the required perceptual, not situational, role), expressed as a Nominative noun phrase in these languages.
