The Event Structure of Perception Verbs
Gisborne, Nikolas (Senior Lecturer in Linguistics and English Language, University of Edinburgh)
This book examines the semantics and syntactic behaviour of perception verbs such as look, see, taste, hear, feel, sound, and listen. It considers their meanings, modality, and irregularity, and examines the kinds of polysemy they exhibit. It offers new insights on lexical causation, evidentiality, and processes of cognition.
