Where Do Verb Classes Come From

Verb classes are sets of semantically-related verbs sharing a range of linguistic properties, such as: — possible realizations of arguments — interpretation associated with each possible argument realization The big question: What is behind verb classes that on the one hand makes them so appealing as a research tool and on the other hand explains their limitations?
