Abstract Possession and Experiential Expression. Some Preliminary Remarks

Recent years have seen increasing attention paid to experiential constructions in Ancient Greek, above all in Homeric Greek, and various studies based on different approaches have been published (see, for example, Dahl 2014, and Luraghi & Sausa 2015). One of the interesting characteristics of the experiential expressions is the variety of encoding not only cross-linguistically and diachronically, but also synchronically from an intralinguistic point of view, as typological data shows (e.g. Verhoeven 2007).
