A survey and treatment of different types of clausal complements
to have, arguing that the status of the whole have construction with respect
to eventiveness depends upon the status of its complement. Hence, eventive
nominal complements to have produce eventive readings (have a party), as
do eventive clausal complements (have someone go to the store), but stative
clausal complements (have Sue in a tizzy) produce a stative reading. Complements
headed by the passive participle are ambiguous.
