FURTHER VALIDATION AND METHODOLOGICAL EXTENSION OF TEN A PRIORI SEMANTIC FEATURES FOR INTERPERSONAL VERBS AND ADVERBS

Abstract

The paper extends and further validates Osgood's model of interpersonal intentions as represented in ten a priori semantic features. The model and several cross-cultural implications are discussed. Several empirical tests were made of the perception and use of these a priori semantic features for interpersonal verbs by native speakers from the American Midwest subculture. A computerized aid to checking intuitive judgments about the feature specification of verbs and adverbs and models of semantic systems is also described.
