This section examines the so-called psychological or °psych-verbs. These verbs denote a mental state/process and minimally select an experiencer argument, i.e. an argument that refers to an individual who inhabits the mental state described by the verb. Psych-verbs can be found in most of the verb classes distinguished in Section 2.1, but there is also a special set of psych-verbs, sometimes referred to as nom-acc verbs, which constitute a verb class we have not seen before.
