Transformationally introduced predicators

Certain lexical items can be used as predicates semantically, but cannot themselves occur as surface predicate words. Such words will appear in the syntactic position expected of some other constituent (usually, I think, that of the Result constituent), and there must therefore be lexically associated with them some predicator word, a word that is capable of bearing the tense and aspect properties that can only be attached to verb-like elements. The constructions I have in mind are those of the type ‘have faith in", ‘give credence to’, ‘be loyal to’, etc., and the predicator words I have in mind include be, do, give, have, make, take and a few others.
