Summary/Abstract: The paper presents semantic and syntactic properties of a group of Serbian and Slovenian agentive verbs of visual perception that have a differential component of a focused perception act realisation in their meaning content. Within the semantic-syntactic analysis of these verbs the situation types of perceptive action expressed by them were determined, as well as their predicate-argument structure and right argument forms. In the given analysis we have considered the extent of inter-lingual equivalence by taking as the starting point the Serbian verbs connected not only by the above-mentioned differential semantic component but also by common etymological origin.
