''Rochelle drives trucks / Rochelle is a driver of trucks'', where ''trucks'' is the internal argument.<br /> <br /> === Link ===<br /> <br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Inheritance&amp;lemmacode=676 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics]<br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> <br /> * Booij, G.E. 1988.
