Chapter 5 determines the semantic typology of patterns III and VI, sometimes termed the vowel-lengthening patterns. It asserts that verbs formed in these patterns are symmetrical predicates, denoting relations consisting of two complementary forces. It shows that the difference between the two patterns results from the interplay between an underlying symmetric relation and a figure–ground orientation in which one of the participant roles involved is made more prominent than the other. The chapter divides verbs formed in pattern III into verbs of resistance, risk, competition, interaction, and co-action, and those formed in pattern VI into reciprocal verbs, feigning verbs, chaining verbs, and verbs of progressive change. It argues that an account based on a common symmetric structure is able to unite this diverse range of verbs within one analysis, and it offers data from other languages to support this claim.
