Abstract

Verb predicates play a significant role in the grammar. One of our primary motivations for doing so was to avoid arbitrary lexical stipulations on each verb that could potentially occur in the construction. Through an analysis of linguistic structures, lexical items, and expressive devices, this study seeks to identify common patterns and variations in the expression of emotions across languages. Therefore it is worthwhile to see how much can be accounted for in a principled way by paying close attention tosemantic constraints.
