This is a systematic lexical study of a little-documented phenomenon, viz. the syntactic properties of the English verbs that can appear in sentence pairs such as Bees are swarming in the garden and The garden is swarming with bees. The result is more than a list of such verbs. Various phenomena have been uncovered related to a hitherto unnoticed phenomenon of sentence productivity: the verbs in these sentences can be replaced by others derived from them by metaphorical extension. These groups of verbs then form open classes, whose size at any given moment cannot be measured, and into which new verbs enter in a regular and productive way. Such new uses of existing sentence forms (not only of new word derivations) permit an explicit description of what is intuitively and loosely meant by productivity. *
