lang="EN-US">But beyond
this syntactic similarity, and besides a difference of word
order in spoken vs.
written register (b’), there is a clear semantic difference
between the two
constructions: in (a) the subject is connoted as “clever”, in
(b) the
beneficiary is connoted as “lucky” – possibly implied by the
difference of
activity of the 2 types of agents.</span></p>

this semantic difference in Finnish and Sami?</span></p>
