In the Mind's Ear: The Semantic Extensions of Perception Verbs in Australian Languages.
Evans, Nicholas; Wilkins, David
Language, v76 n3 p546-92 Sep 2000
Tests earlier claims about the universality of patterns of polysemy and semantic extension in the domain of perception verbs. Utilizing data from a broad range of Australian languages, two hypothesized universals are addressed: Viberg's (1994) proposed unidirectional pattern of extension from higher to lower sensory modalities and Sweeter's (1990) perception of the extension of verbs to cognition readings.
