Despite the fact that this verb class has received substantial attention, there are several aspects that are still overlooked or undefined and, thus, not properly reflected in dictionaries, e.g., its syntactico-semantic potential. Hence, the current study is divided into two main sections: first, a theoretical characterization of physical perception verbs in English, and second, an applied characterization of such verbs. In the first part, a semantic classification of the members of this verb class will be established, serving as the starting point for their latter examination. This way, their syntactic and semantic complementation patterns, their use in the progressive structure, as well as their nature as carriers of evidential meaning or their behavior as DMs, among other aspects, will be explored. Furthermore, how these verbs are usually treated in some of the major dictionaries will also be described. The second part, on the other hand, will consist in the proposal of a lexicographical description of these verbs in a bilingual (English-Spanish) dictionary-like form. To do so, the different meanings that these verbal forms can convey will be collected and analyzed according to all the information discussed in the first part of this dissertation. Altogether, this proposal will offer a deeper and more comprehensive characterization of this verb class, covering aspects typically absent in dictionaries.","abstract_html":"The aim of this doctoral dissertation is twofold: a) to study one of the most relevant verb classes, the physical perception verb class, and b) to put forward a proposal for its lexicographical or, following Comesaña Rincón et al (2013), lexicogrammatical description.
