This project tackles the various phenomena surrounding psychological predicates, our main goal being the investigation of their syntactic and semantic behavior on a sound empirical, cross-linguistic basis. In the current funding period, we are conducting a broad scale study on the typology of the psych-alternation. See here for the results of the previous project stage.
