motivate.02 - justify

MOTIVATE-V NOTES: Rolesets might be difficult to distinguish in the transitive.Ontology of the arg1 might be the key: only agentive entities canappear in arg1 of motivate.01, while objects and actions canappear as arg1 of motivate.02. I'm not certain if agentive entitiescould appear as arg1 of motivate.02, but if they did, their agentivestatus would be external to the act of motivation. (from motivate.02-v)
