I'm not sure I'd treat "get ... out of" as a phrasal verb, although
"get" and "out" are regularly components of other phrasal verbs.  One of
the frequent traits of a phrasal verb is that the verb means something
different from what it would if used by itself.  "Get" in this case is
still pretty close to "receive" or "obtain", not like "get" in "get
over" or "get on".  I would interpret "get" here as a transitive
locative verb and "out of" + NP as its licensed locative phrase.

I am sure that some one or more of you will be able to make this very
clear.

Would you consider "to get the most out of" a phrasal verb?  Or would 
you consider "the most" as the direct object of the verb, with a 
prepositional phrase modifier?  (Or would you consider "the most out 
of <something>" in its entirety to be the direct object?)


Odile,
too tired to think tonight
