Transitivity of pronominal verbs must refer only to the base form:
a) kill oneself (commit suicide)
Portuguese:
lemma = matar-se
transitivity = direct transitive ("matar" is direct transitive)
Spanish:
lemma = matarse
transitivity = direct transitive ("matar" is direct transitive)
b) recall knowledge from memory (remember)
Portuguese:
lemma = lembrar-se
transitivity = ditransitive ("lembrar" is ditransitive)
Spanish:
lemma = acordarse
transitivity = ditransitive ("acordar" is ditransitive) |
