“…The semantic associations of perception verbs are, of course, not limited to cognition and linguistic communication. The languages investigated here add in particular to the burgeoning research on the polysemy of multi-sense verbs (e.g., Enghels and Jansegers 2013;Jansegers et al 2015), and demonstrate the value of examining verbs of touch, taste and smell, which are yet to receive the same level of scrutiny as sight and hearing verbs (Burenhult and Majid 2011;Ibarretxe-Antuñano 2006;Wälchli 2016; see also Classen 1997).…”

“…Synchronic studies of polysemy that focus on a single language or several closely related languages employ a wide range of data-gathering techniques, for example, dictionary searches, elicitation, and participant observation, as well as examining contextualized written or spoken examples (see, e.g., Alm-Arvius 1993;Enfield 2003;Aikhenvald and Storch 2013). For languages with a long tradition of literacy and established broadcast media (and often thanks to committed individuals who work towards creating accessible electronic corpora), polysemy can be approached using quantitative corpus linguistics techniques (e.g., Gries 2006;Glynn and Robinson 2014), parallel translation (e.g., Enghels and Jansegers 2013;Wälchli 2016), and with a growing range of tools and resources (e.g., FrameNet; Mapping Metaphor 2015). Lexicographic, elicitation, introspective, and usage-based work can further be combined with psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic inquiry (see, e.g., Gries 2015), and semantic mapping approaches (e.g., Haspelmath 2003).…”

Apart from references to perception, words such as see and listen have shared, non-literal meanings across diverse languages. Such cross-linguistic meanings have not been systematically investigated as they appear in their natural home — informal spoken interaction. We present a qualitative examination of the semantic associations of perception verbs based on recorded everyday conversation in thirteen diverse languages. Across these diverse communities, spontaneous interaction provides evidence for two commonly-discussed extensions of perception verbs — perception~cognition, hearing~linguistic communication — as well as illustrating other meanings and functions (e.g., the use of perception verbs as discourse markers) that have been less appreciated heretofore. The range of usage that is readily observable in informal conversation makes it clear that this type of data must take center stage for the empirically grounded study of semantics. Moreover, these data suggest that commonalities in polysemous meanings may rely not only on universal cognition, but also on the universal exigencies of social interaction.

“…Al traducir una obra a su lengua materna, el traductor puede ser influenciado consciente o inconscientemente por la lengua del texto fuente (Van Hoeke & Goyens 1990: 124). Este fenómeno resulta particularmente frecuente entre lenguas hermanas como el español y el portugués (Enghels & Jansegers 2013;Vanderschueren 2010: 95). Además, la similitud morfológica entre los verbos de la presente investigación podría aumentar aún más el riesgo de influencias encubiertas de la lengua fuente en la lengua meta.…”

De verbos de colocación a pseudo-copulativos: procesos de gramaticalización en los cuasi-sinónimos poner/meter y pôr/meter en español y en portugués. MARIE COMER, RENATA ENGHELS y CLARA VANDERSCHUEREN AbstractMost studies on locative verbs focus on (a) the internal organization of this verbal category and its position within various verb classifications, (b) the syntactic analysis of their arguments, and more particularly the status of the locative complement.

“…Desde el punto de vista cuantitativo, un estudio previo basado en diccionarios y corpus (Enghels & Jansegers 2013b), ha revelado que -en comparación con los verbos sentir en español y en francés -el sentire italiano se destaca por su alta frecuencia. 15 Al mismo tiempo, llama la atención la intrincada polisemia del verbo.…”
