Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the semantic components of constructions with derived causative verbs of emotions (stimulus, experiencer and the state of emotion) and means for their expression on the syntactic level (explicitly, elliptically, implicitly, incorporation) in German and Ukrainian. The central element in the argument structure of derived causativeverbs of emotions is a human entity as the experiencer of the state of emotion that syntactically may be expressed as subject and object. Syntactically, the derived causative emotion verb may occur in connection with an element that expresses the cause for the state of emotion. This element can be expressed in syntax as subject, as an adjunct clause or as a complement in a subordinate clause.
