A semantic network for Class 3 (for text-only readers).

How to read this diagram:

Categories on the left are generally more inclusive, or are the source for metaphorical or metonymic extensions, of categories to the right. Solid or semi-solid lines indicate relationships of "instantiation" (Langacker 1988) or elaboration on a category; dotted lines indicate metaphoric or metonymic extensions. To view examples of each category, use the right arrow key.
