Elisabeth Norcliffe (Elisabeth Norcliffe) (and Asifa Majid) present a cross-linguistic study of perception verb colexifications, building on Viberg #iclc16

Giulia Martina Elisabeth Norcliffe That's right, we didn't look at perceptual appearance verbs in this study. We collected data for controlled activity (e.g., look, listen, etc.) and noncontrolled experiencer meanings (e.g., see, hear, etc.)
And here is the handout of my #ICLC16 Düsseldorf talk: zenodo.org/record/8223665 (thanks to Elisabeth Norcliffe and Asifa Majid for inviting me to submit an abstract to their session)
Join John Beavers and Elisabeth Norcliffe at 11am (ET) on April 11 to discuss 'Verbs of Perception: A Quantitative Typological Study,' published in Language, Volume 100, Number 1, March 2024. This paper was co-authored by Elisabeth Norcliffe and Asifa Majid. lsadc.org/ev_calendar_da…
Giulia Martina Elisabeth Norcliffe Sorry, figure isn't legible here: you can see examples in Figure 5 muse.jhu.edu/pub/24/article…
Asifa Majid Elisabeth Norcliffe This is fascinating; in which sub-field of linguistics does one study this?
Fernanda Ferreira Surely Asifa Majid has already come to mind; also check out Elisabeth Norcliffe @SebastianSauppe Falk Huettig Gabriela Garrido and contributors to this 2015 LCN special issue tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Dr Alia Amir (Suharwardy) ڈاکٹر عالیہ عامر Elisabeth Norcliffe We take a linguistic typology approach in this study but the broader topic of perceptual language can be studied in many different ways. In other work, we've used psycholinguistic methods, corpus linguistic approaches, fieldwork with under-described languages, etc.
Asifa Majid Elisabeth Norcliffe Thanks! It's really great to have all these data, and to have an alternative hypothesis to the hierarchy of the senses on the table.
Asifa Majid Elisabeth Norcliffe Very nice, I'll be reading this asap! You looked at 'active' perception verbs (e.g. someone sees/hears/feels something), not perceptual appearance verbs (e.g. an object looks/sounds/feels so-and-so), right?
Elisabeth Norcliffe University of York York Psychology Thank you! Sorry not to catch you in Oxford before moving, I hope everything is going well!
