Re: Dynamic vs. Stative Verbs

 Well, stative verbs obviously tell you about the state something is
in... what dynamic verb goes with a stative verb and vice versa doesn't
seem to be completely predictable to me, so I guess you're right, but in
general I'd say that a dynamic verb is one referring to an event or
action causing a transition to that state, and also often suggesting
volition, for example "see", which doesn't usually imply volition,
versus "look". Since dynamic verbs inherently describe transitions
between states they are similar often to inceptives (but dynamic verbs
include the whole transition usually so I don't think there's complete
overlap), but I don't think that the contrast is continuous ~ inceptive.
You can have continuous action at a time with dynamic verbs as well, for
example "He is mounting the horse", where mount is not being viewed as
instantaneous and indivisable event but an ongoing process.
 The state transition present in "get" and "take" is why these are not
stative, even though "take" gives a stronger impression of volition than
"get" (and thus volition is not the main distinction, although it seems
to be more important with verbs of sensation eg "see" "feel" "smell"
"hear"). Both words, for example in the sentence "I took a pencil from
the jar", are expressing the transition from not-having to having, so
the stative form of the verb "get" or "take" should be "have". :)
 Anyway... not speaking a language which consistently makes this
distinction, this could be wrong. :)
