Conclusion
In the present paper we have demonstrated the existence in the English language of two highly different syntactico-semantic classes of change of state attributes: one class groups together those attributes that complement the aspectual variants of the semantically neuter copula be that describe a change of state (become, grow, turn, go, get, come, etc.), and the 150 Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses
other one embraces, in turn, those attributes that optíonally figure in the argument structure of lexical verbs such as break, paint, wash and many others. We have called the members of the former class simply 'change of state attributes' and those belonging to the latter group, 'resultative attributes'. As has been shown throughout this study, the previous división is mainly motivated by the distinct syntactico-semantic behaviour displayed by the verbal constituent of both types of attributive clauses and, as a consequence, by the particular relationship it maintains with its change of state attributes. What really underlies such a binary distinction is, nevertheless, a recent and wide conception of attribution which, apart from the canonical copulative clauses of Traditional Grammar, also includes in its scope those structures that combine in only one syntactic pattem two distinct relations of predication: the first one being verbal in nature and the second one, in contrast, attributive.
