"a" after give or get verbs

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word "a" when it follows verbs like "give", "get" or "gave", as in "give him a chance" or "gave it a second thought". It is pushed negative by the word "gain" in phrases like "gain access". Turning it down made the model loop on the word "access".

How often this neuron fires at each strength. Almost always it does close to nothing (the tall bars in the middle); the snippets above are the rare moments it fired hard, amber for positive and blue for negative.
