These PRIMITIVES seem to be linguistic roles.
In "Mary receives a book from John", one would have "Mary" (the SUBJ). (05)
English has paired verbs such as borrow/lend in cases in which another
language, e.g., Finnish, would only have one. (06)
A more detailed set of truly functional roles (performedBy, fromPossessor,
toPossessor, recipient, objectOfPossessionTransfer, objectOfStatusChange,
objectActedOn, primaryObjectMoving, ...) can be useful. (07)
