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
[These games] pit the player against preprogrammed challenges. (enTenTen20) Mr. Friedland brought several actions against contractors that had built the mining facility. (enTenTen20) [He] leaned his head against the wall of the lift while the doors closed. (enTenTen20) He warned his supporters against over-confidence. (BNC) Travel Insurance helps protect you against unexpected expenses. (enTenTen20)
