(51) Can an argument A2 of V2 be separated from V2 by an argument/adjunct A1 of V1, or by V1 itself?
| He has | several times | tried | to kill | the rat. |
| A1 | V1 | V2 | A2 |
Try to make the matrix adverb as incompatible as possible with the embedded verb. There should be no contrastive focus on the direct O.
Please note that A1 is an argument or adjunct of V1; and A2 is an argument or adjunct of V2.
