Conceptualising Transitivity Networks Through Pattern Based Constructions

Pattern: V n against n

The pattern can be best understood by viewing the interactive construction network link above.

To examine the individual constructions please see the tables below:

Examples
...the concerns that have been raised about balancing privacy rights against security needs. (enTenTen20) Mr. Friedland brought several actions against contractors that had built the mining facility. (enTenTen20) Travel Insurance helps protect you against unexpected expenses. (enTenTen20) [Their actions] decided him against pushing on with his ambitions.
