Comment:
‘look’: transitive version; the verb may not be the same as the dative verb 'look at', in terms of both coding properties and probably also semantics, and could have been isolated into a separate lexical entry; though it is not fully clear how to distinguish between the dative and the transitive frames in contexts where there is not Target present.
