Abstract
This work aims at discerning to what extent syntactic differences in the use of a word must lead to the distinction of different lexical units. To study this question, we examine the relation between the caused-motion construction and lexical units that can enter into in two theoretical models: FrameNet and Meaning Text Theory.
