Инхоативни глаголи с дателен експериенцер в българския език

This paper deals with the syntactic description of inchoative verbs of physiological state or emotion that denote a new state obtained by an experiencer argument, where the experiencer is expressed as a dative pronoun. Semantically, these verbs correspond to stative predicative constructions. Based on the analysis of corpus and dictionary data, we come to the conclusion that the inchoative verbs under discussion take three arguments — physiological state predicates assign an experiencer, a stimulus and a locative role, whereas predicates of emotion take an experiencer, a stimulus and an object of emotion. In addition, we present conclusions regarding the syntactic properties of each argument, as well as observations on the frequency of expression of the different arguments, where relevant.
