Summary/Abstract: This paper addresses approaches to verb argument structure from the point of view of the information which can be assumed to be lexically encoded in the verb. It explores ways in which speakers’ sensitivity to verbs can be investigated experimentally across types of expressions, including idioms/non-literal language, and reports findings from recent empirical research in that domain
