“…There were only five occurrences of animate subject referents in kuulua PERC constructions in the data, and these involved not just humans but other animate beings too (cf. VISK 2004:§1321; von Waldenfels 2012:215) 21 . Because of the small number of occurrences, no generalizations can be made on the conditions that permit the animate subject to appear.…”

“…As a verb of perceptibility, kuulua can refer to the potentiality of being heard or to the (in)ability of being perceived through unspecified sensory input. When it comes to auditory perceptibility, kuulua ‘to be audible, to sound’ (hereafter kuulua PERC ) leaves the agent of the process implicit and is considered to be incompatible with a human subject (VISK 2004:§1321; von Waldenfels 2012:215) (see the examples in (1)). In a negative clause, kuulua can code not only inaudibility but also the non-appearance of an entity in a given location: ‘to be imperceptible (through unspecified sensory input)’ (hereafter, kuulua APP ).…”

This paper deals with the grammatical differences and overlaps between the uses of the Finnishkuuluaas a verb of auditory perceptibility (‘to be audible’) and as a verb of appearance, when employed in negative clauses (‘to be imperceptible (through unspecified sensory input)’). Both meanings entail perceptibility, existentiality and motion from the experienced towards the experiencer. However, they differ significantly in regard to the nature of the motion as well as the degree of animacy of the subject referent. As a verb of auditory perceptibility,kuuluaaccepts mainly inanimate subjects referring to a perceivable sound. As a verb of appearance,kuuluais mostly used with animate subjects. The semantic difference between the two constructions is accounted for in terms of objective and intersubjective meaning construal. The potential movement of a sound towards the experiencer concerns the relationship between the world and the subject of conceptualization, whereas the non-appearance of an animate being is viewed on the level of intersubjective cognitive coordination, with regard to interactional expectations. The results of this study shed light on the complex semantics of perceptibility. The analysis is based on 1,528 occurrences ofkuuluain dialectal and literary data.

This study compares eleven verbs of letting in six Germanic and five Romance languages. The aim of this paper is to pinpoint the differences and similarities in the semasiological variation of these verbs, both across and within the two language groups they represent. The results of a Multidimensional Scaling analysis based on a parallel corpus of film subtitles show that the verbs differ along several semantic dimensions, such as letting versus leaving, factitive versus permissive causation, as well as modality and discourse function. Although the main differences between the verbs lend themselves to a genealogical interpretation (Germanic vs. Romance), a distributional analysis of constructional patterns in which the verbs occur reveals that these differences are in fact distributed areally, with a centre and a periphery.
