Object vs. subject control for V2V and reflexive #436

History:

5+ years ago, in the English RG, all V2Vs were subject control, so they were producing sentences like following:

  • I like myself / you like yourself / …
  • I help ( you like myself / them like myself / … )

Then I changed it so that V2Vs became object control:

  • I like myself / you like yourself / …
  • I help ( you like yourself / them like themselves / … )

Except for objects that were added by a combination of VPSlashPrep and ReflVP, then it was still subject control.

@krangelov asked me to fix it because it broke some sentence in the WordNet corpus, but apparently I didn't. Could I get the sentence so I can fix it? I was thinking of adding a param to V2V that specifies whether it is subject or object control. Or was the issue with a sentence that uses VPSlashPrep?
