This paper concerns the subject of source-based and experiencer-based perception verbs in the German, English and Polish language. After introductory remarks on the linguistic aspects of perception, an issue of semantic relations of the three classes of perception verbs is presented. Finally, the examined verbs and their mutual relations are demonstrated from a cognitive-historical perspective.

The aim of the paper is to analyse the evidential meanings encoded by selected Polish verbs of perception. Evidentiality is a category whose primary function is to mark the speaker’s source of information on which his/her claim is based; this may be direct observation/experience, inference from observable data, general knowledge, someone’s report, or other types of evidence. Cross-linguistically, the category of evidentiality may be defined narrowly as marking of the information source only by strictly grammatical means; alternatively, evidentiality may be understood broadly as marking of the information source plus additional epistemic values, and this can be done through grammatical and/or lexical means. The present paper adopts the latter understanding of evidentiality; within this broadened view, evidential strategies can be discussed more holistically. Perception verbs in Polish may be divided into different subgroups; from the evidential perspective, the division into object-oriented and subject-oriented verbs provides the most significant contrast to consider the problem of which forms of perception verbs encode evidential meanings. The next problem to be addressed is which evidential values are encoded by these forms. It is usually the speaker’s direct perceptual experience that is indicated by perception verbs; however, certain forms may encode indirect information sources, such as inference or someone’s report.

This paper explores perception verbs (like ‘hear’ and ‘see’) from a construction grammar perspective, with a focus on both contrastive and diachronic aspects. Surprisingly, our corpus analysis suggests that different verbs from this semantic groups do not display a homogeneous syntactic behaviour. For example the verb ‘observer’ stands out from other verbs in this group. We attempt to account for the special status of ‘observer’ and discuss the extent to which the acceptability of sentences featuring ‘observer’ can be improved by acting on certain parameters in the sentence. Our research highlights the role of a factor referred to as evidentia in classical rhetoric.

Le thème de notre contribution,  conçue dans la perspective de la grammaire de construction, est à la fois contrastif et diachronique. Nous nous intéressons, après beaucoup d’autres linguistes, au comportement syntaxique des verbes d’un certain groupe constitué selon des critères sémantiques : les verbes de perception (entendre, voir, etc.). Contrairement à notre attente, les possibilités syntaxiques de ces verbes ne sont pas identiques. Ainsi, il apparaît rapidement que le verbe observer a tendance à faire bande à part. Nous essayerons, d’une part, de comprendre les raisons de ce statut spécial, d’autre part, de voir dans quelle mesure l’acceptabilité de la phrase avec observer peut être améliorée par une action sur d’autres paramètres de la phrase. Cette recherche nous permet d’identifier le rôle important d’un facteur que la rhétorique classique appelait evidentia.

Kategoria ewidencjalności wskazuje źródło informacji nadawcy przekazu. Tymi źródłami mogą być np.: bezpośrednia obserwacja, wnioskowanie czy twierdzenie innej osoby. Dodatkowo wykładniki tej kategorii mogą kodować wartości epistemiczne i/lub inne związane ze stosunkiem mówiącego do treści przekazu. W artykule przyjęta została szeroka definicja ewidencjalności – do jej wykładników zalicza się nie tylko morfemy ściśle gramatyczne, ale również środki składniowe czy wyrażenia leksykalne. Celem artykułu jest analiza wartości ewidencjalnych kodowanych przez niektóre czasowniki percepcji w języku polskim i ich formy nieosobowe, nie zawsze bowiem wskazują one na bezpośrednie źródło informacji. W końcowej części rozważane jest pytanie, czy omawiane formy nieosobowe mogłyby być uznane za wykładniki ewidencjalności we wczesnej fazie gramatykalizacji.

Evidentials indicate the information source on which the speaker’s claim is based; this source may be e.g. direct observation, inference, someone’s report or others. Additionally, evidentials may also encode epistemic and/or other meanings connected with the speaker’s attitude to the information content. The paper assumes a broad definition of evidentiality: its markers may be grammatical morphemes, but also syntactic means or lexical resources. The aim of the paper is to analyze the evidential values encoded by select perception verbs in Polish and their impersonal forms/predicatives, as it is often indirect evidence that is encoded by such forms. In the final part, the paper addresses the question of whether any of the forms discussed might be regarded as evidentiality in the early process of grammaticalization.
