Linguistic Nomenclature
I was wondering if there was a specific name for referring to the following phenomenon.
In English, we say "He is dead," indicating that he died and the result of that action he is in a state of death. Furthermore, we could say "The man is married," meaning that the man married and is now in the state of marriage.
Is there a word for this and if possible could you give examples from other languages?
