Glagol čutiti v slovenščini: med slovarjem, skladnjo in rabo

Obdobja 34: Slovnica in slovar - aktualni jezikovni opis (1. del). 2015. str. 93—100.This article incorporates a syntactic analysis into a lexical study of the Slovene verb čutiti (,to feel’) and proposes a new interpretation of its semantic frame based on a conceptual structure of the verbal-nominal constructions in which this verb occurs. The study shows that the constructions can express different types of perception (e.g., sensual, intellectual, emotional) of inner and outer stimuli in both the physical and the abstract domain. Moreover, in the light of uses attested in the Gigafida corpus, the same construction (e.g., čutiti hlad ,to feel cold’) can refer to different types of perception (,to be cold’ and ,feeling somebody’s absence of emotion’). This confirms that the constructions in question should be analyzed with
reference to the whole syntactic context in which they occur.
