If verbs have an event argument, as Davidson proposed, then simple sentences consisting of a verb and its arguments always involve Davidsonian event predication, and hence exemplification.
The first example above shows a simple realization of the Finite/Predicator, in which the element consists of a single verb.
His every sentence, according to his Democratic rival Senator Joseph Biden, now consists of "a noun and a verb and 9/11".
He certainly wouldn't do it so incessantly that he'd give Joseph R. Biden Jr., then a senator, an opportunity in 2008 to observe puckishly that every Giuliani sentence consists of "a noun and a verb and 9/11".
The Finite/Predicator may be realized by verbal group consisting of a single verb, or by a verbal group consisting of more than one verb.
The very terms "split infinitive" and "split verb" are based on a thick-witted analogy to Latin, in which it is impossible to split a verb because it consists of a single word, such as amare, "to love".
Each sentence consisted of a unique verb and a unique noun (e.g., "roll the ball") in Norwegian.
The Greenlandic verb word consists of a root + derivational suffixes/postbases + inflectional suffixes.
As a pro-drop language, in Czech an intransitive sentence can consist of only a verb; information about its subject is encoded in the verb.
His every sentence on the campaign trail consisted of "a noun, a verb and 9/11", as Joe Biden put it.
