An example: MISE GA AITE IRU. MISE GA AITE ARU. in which the latter sounds unnatural. This is due to the innate feature in each elementary verb. In the present experiment, 119 college students were asked to rate the naturalness of 570 simple sentences, which were the combinations of selected verbs, (30), auxiliary verbs (10) and adverbs (9). The result of facter analisis indicates that four factors, out of five, can be interpreted in the following manner: The 1st factor (G) purposive-non-purposive 2nd (C) continuous-discontinuous 3rd (V) animate-inanimate 4th (T) terminable-interminable The result of cluster analysis suggested two clusters: Continuity and discontinuity. These findings permitted the hypothetical categorization of verbs in the following manner: [table]
