A Grammar of Meanings

Many English words have several meanings and uses. This is particularly true of the common
words which make up most of our everyday language. Because of this is difficult to make
statements about the grammatical behavior of a word, as this can be vary according to its
meaning. For example, in one meaning a verb, may be transitive, and in another meaning
intransitive.

An instance if this is " manage ", which in its meaning of " be responsible for controlling an
organization, business, or system " is transitive, and in its meaning of " be able to continue
with a reasonable way of life, " even though you do not have much money is intransitive, usually
followed by an adverbial phrase.
