Experiential verbs in Homeric Greek

In Experiential verbs in Homeric Greek. A constructional approach Silvia
Luraghi offers a comprehensive account of construction variation with
two-place verbs belonging to different sub-domains of experience
(including bodily sensation, perception, cognition, emotion and
volitionality) in the Homeric language. Traditionally, variation is
ascribed to the independent meaning of cases that mark the second
argument, and explanations have focused on properties of the latter.
By taking a constructional approach, the author shows that construction
variation also brings about differences in the conceptualization of the
subject/experiencer by pointing to different degrees of control and
awareness. Variation is then shown to refl ect the embodied construal
of experience along with the social dimension of emotions
