The sun melted the ice," or "The window broke. The golf ball broke the window" ("Unaccusative Verb" Wikipedia). The unaccusative past participle can act as a nominal modifier: "the melted snow, the departed guests, the fallen soldiers"; this takes the subject dependent on the unaccusative past participle in content. Coincidentally, unaccusative unergative past participles seem all the more archaic, "the shouted victim, *the slept child, *the hesitated leader"; this grammatical justaposition lends a certain jarring, dissonant tone and idea to the sentence, whereby the unergative past partiple precedes the subject ("Unaccusative Verb" Wikipedia).

Unaccusative subjects can also be influenced by direct objects and passive subjects through the resultative adjunct: "unaccusative subject: The vase broke into pieces. direct object: John broke the vase into pieces. passive subject: The vase was broken into pieces. unergative subject: *John dined full/to death/two pounds heavier. subject of transitive verb: *John ate the brownies full/to death/two pounds heavier" ("Unaccusative Verb" Wikipedia).

I would specify "we" here

Again, specify "we"

I would put a...

...

colon [:] after "proposals" and then briefly denote what those are.
The wording "It is first proposed is unnecessary"; I would eliminate it.

I would first describe/introduce what the "existential-be" is

I would further clarify what you mean in the first part of the sentence here- I think you might have typed something wrong

I would either eliminate "It is first argued," or discuss who argued it and what significance it has in the sentence.

Same as the previous note-- you might want to try "Furthermore, the existential-be..."

Specify what you mean by "light"-- the more specific/literal you can be in academic writing, the better you sound.

Spell out what PP stands for Add the detailed reason of...

Again, be more specific here.

You can create a better transition here by comparing the previous idea with the upcoming one.

I would further elucidate on why this point is important to the sentence.

Specify "We"

Even in higher level education, you will want to further elaborate on what this is to add clarity and concision to your writing.

I have no idea what you are saying in this sentence-- be more direct.

Specify "it"

Again, you will want to write this out with a bit more explanation

Personality Theories in Psychology To the layperson, the term personality is a generic descriptor for an individual's traits. However, personality has a more specific meaning to psychologists. According to Dan McAdams, "Personality psychology is the scientific study of the whole person" (McAdams, 2006, p.12, para.1). While different psychologists and their theories have become well-known enough to be referenced in casual conversation, there is still some confusion among laypeople about personality

Knowing this, Strenger points out that therapists need to consider "who can work with whom," because the therapeutic outcome may be greatly affected by the "chemistry" between therapist and client.
