本文介绍了对现代希腊经验动词的回忆实验结果。本文以三种不同类型的经验者动词为研究对象，即经验者主语动词、不稳定[±施事]经验者宾语动词和非施事经验者宾语动词，考察了主体性、主位角色（施事、经验者）和生命性对语序的影响及其相互作用。实验结果表明，虽然倾向于保留首选的SVO顺序是可见的所有检查动词类，这种效果被削弱的经验者优先的EO动词。此外，对于EO动词，论元顺序偏好的关键因素是刺激物的属性[±施事]，而生命性在我们的研究中没有表现出独立的影响。这些结果支持了心理动词理论中基于句法行为不同而提出的三种经验动词的分离。
This article presents the results of a recall experiment on Modern Greek experiential verbs. The influence of the factors subjecthood, thematic role (agent, experiencer), and animacy on word order and their interaction is investigated with three different types of experiencer verbs, namely experiencer subject (ES) verbs, labile [±agentive] experiencer object verbs, and non-agentive experiencer object (EO) verbs. The experimental results show that while a tendency to preserve the preferred SVO order is visible with all examined verb classes, this effect is weakened by an experiencer-first preference for EO verbs. Furthermore, for EO verbs the crucial factor for the argument order preferences is the property [±agentive] of the stimulus while animacy does not exhibit an independent effect in our findings. These results support the separation of the three types of experiential verbs, which is suggested in psych-verb theories on the basis of their different syntactic behavior.
