(10) Peter schlagt den Gong (mit dem KlOppel).
in the spirit of the MRS-based analysis for the German verbs gieflen and fi,illen that we have presented above, we propose that the semantic properties of the arguments of one of the most representative verbs of the removal predicates class in German, the verb wischen (wipe), which denotes a change of location, when a locatum argument is realized as its direct object (see example (8) in Section (2.2)), are captured by the following type: (15) CONTENT value of wischenioc wischen-ch-of-loc-rel ACT U (Peter) UND El (die Kreide) LiSZT El) saubern (trim; see example (9) in Section (2.2) and (16) below) is different than wischen: as (16) above captures, in German trimming necessarily results in trimming something off something else; in the case of example (9) above trimming the bush results in trimming the dry branches off the bush.
