Syntactically, the verb frame changes from intransitive (no NP complement after the verb) to transitive (one NP complement after the verb) – see Chapter 6. Not all Process-focus verbs, however, can widen their focus in this way, e.g.

The spider crawled along Sarah’s arm (Process-focus, internally caused, intransitive)

*Alice crawled the spider along Sarah’s arm (widened-focus, externally caused, transitive)

The chickens squawked (Process-focus, internally caused, intransitive) *The fox squawked the chickens (widened-focus, externally caused, transitive).

We can now consider verbs with a wider focus, whose meaning includes both a process and a state component or an act that triggers a process (Section 8.3).
