| Description | The paper shows that in the interaction between the semantic content of oscillatory corporeal verbs and the syntactic constructions in which they occur it is the construction that plays a decisive role. The paper also demonstrates that the evaluative component weakens the reference to the motion as a purely kinetic phenomenon. |
