I am currently working with a corpus of verbs in Czech and have determined
that 80% of these verbs fall into roughly three categories: verbs of
existence/possession, verbs of speaking/thinking, and verbs of sensual
perception.
I would like to investigate this regularity in my corpus further, and I
know that there is literature on the roles that one or more of these three
general verbal groupings play in various linguistic phenomena. However, I
am having trouble locating specific sources which take up this theme. I
thought perhaps someone out there might have done some work in this area
and might have ready suggestions for what I should read. I would
appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance,
David
