Conceptual representations of the denominal verb formative +lA-, +A, +tA- and +lAnthat were previously characterized with the schema DO-base in Lim (2011a 2011b) are now refined with the ENGAGE-base schema and the responsive DO-schema with the INDUCE-base schema. Thus, we have
(1) +lA- is the ENGAGE-base schema ‘to gainfully ENGAGE the literal capacity of the base without an object or to gainfully ENGAGE an association of the base with an object’;
(2) +A- is the ENGAGE-base schema ‘to gainfully ENGAGE the metaphorical capacity of the base without object or to gainfully ENGAGE an association of the base with an object’;
(3) +tA- is the ENGAGE-base schema ‘to gainfully ENGAGE the metonymical capacity of the base without an object or to gainfully ENGAGE an association of the base with an object’;
(4) +lAn- is the INDUCE-base schema ‘to gainfully INDUCE the literal or referential attributes or capacity of the base without an object or to gainfully INDUCE an association of the base with an object.’
