Misrepresenting Ranges As Mediums

Martin (1992: 313):

Further examples [of phrasal verbs as elaborations] are introduced in Table 5.10; the relevant Medium is provided in parentheses to clarify the phrasal interpretation.

Table 5.9. Elaboration in the verbal group
Verbal group event	=	particle	(medium)
sum		up	(the problem)
beat		up	(the class)
line		up	(the dogs)
see		through	(the disguise)
meet		up with	(a friend)
look		into	(the matter)
talk		over	(the issue)
run		away with	(the game)
