Spoken clauses " " as Verbal Phrases
The clause “O! Don’t cut my throat, sir, “ is spoken and as such external, so it would be a verbal process. However, within this clause the sayer is not named only whom he is addressing. So do I have the process type wrong?

annabellegl "O! " The fact that it is said by someone means that the implicit clause in which this is embedded is a verbal process, but that's a somewhat vacuous fact because it applies to all quotations. In my opinion within this quotation you have the material process of the cutting of a throat.
