On Emai VBI phrases

We examine the distribution of Emai prepositional phrases and their NP complements relative to intransitive verbs.

In canonical order constructions, vbi phrases follow a matrix verb as optional or obligatory constituents, or they follow the verb za in series before another matrix verb.
