[Lexicog] boring question

[Melissa Axelrod]

Hi all-
  I'm interested in the relationships between sentences like 'I'm bored'
and 'It's boring (to me)'. Are these two sentences possible with
inflectionally related words in other languages as well? Also, I'm
interested in semantic extensions of 'boring'. In ASL, the sign can mean
not only 'bored/boring' but also 'yuck', 'no way' and 'I refuse to do
that'. Is that common in other languages as well?
  Thanks,
  Melissa
