In connection with the cancelability/noncancelability of characteristics we can perhaps speak of three groups of verbs:
1) Verbs where the particular characteristic easily is blotted out or changed by the context, and it is clearly seen that the characteristic is pragmatic.
2) Verbs where the characteristic is not blotted out or changed by the context, except in special cases, such as idiomatic use, illustrative use, slang, idiosyncratic or substandard use.
3) Verbs where the characteristic cannot be blotted out by the context.
I do not have a list of all the verbs that have semantic characteristics. My task, therefore, is to
demonstrate the existence of verbs belonging to group 3. So let us look at some Hebrew examples.
