The semantic structure of vision verbs: a psycholinguistic investigation of Italian
No full textThe aim of the present study was to investigate the semantic dimensions
that contribute to the mental representation of vision verbs in Italian. In
Experiment 1, a group of experts (psychology faculty members) was asked
to list the semantic attributes necessary for describing a set of Italian vision
verbs (Phase 1) and a group of students rated the extent to which each of
these attributes was appropriate to characterise these verbs (Phase 2). In
Experiment 2, the conceptual organisation of vision verbs was assessed
through Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) using direct judgements of
pairwise similarity between vision verbs (e.g., ``vedere± guardare’ ’ ). The
results show that six of the attributes generated in Phase 1 are useful for
describing the pattern of similarity ratings obtained in Experiment 2,
namely attention, certainty, cognitive content, control, duration, and intentionality
