Abstract
The CONTRAGRAM Contrastive Verb Valency Dictionary of Dutch, French and English not only describes interlingual differences between different types of verb complementation exhaustively, it also provides a semantic picture of the entry verbs. Next to a lexical approach to verb valency, a multidirectional and non-reductivist contrastive approach therefore offers a suitable basis for describing conceptual differences between various languages. These conceptual structures in the verbal lexicon are illustrated by means of a concrete contrastive lexicological analysis of the Dutch verb beslissen and its proto-translatious, French décider and English decide.
