tell.01, say.01: directive sense? #5

tell.01 covers "tell that" usages like "they will tell you that the favorite figure of the moment is the Maneki Neko" and "The score tell you what the characters are thinking and feeling."

  • Arg0-PAG: Speaker (vnrole: 37.1.1-1-1-agent, 37.2-1-agent)
  • Arg1-PPT: Utterance (vnrole: 37.1.1-1-1-topic, 37.2-1-topic)
  • Arg2-GOL: Hearer (vnrole: 37.1.1-1-1-recipient, 37.2-1-recipient)

(say.01 is similar.) What about "tell to" or "say to", i.e. give an instruction? Should this be a different sense? Should there be a different arg for the instruction? Or should ARG1 apply to both statements and instructions?

It seems like the distinction would matter for dialogue and other applications.
