Abstract In this paper, we propose a constructional analysis of the meanings of two generic motion verbs in Ancient Greek and Coptic (Sahidic dialect), the verbs bainō and bok, respectively, both of which are glossed as ‘go’ and are characterized by extensive polysemy. We argue that an adequate analysis of these meanings can only be achieved in a framework that recognizes lexical constructions at the level of the verb sense, showing that each meaning correlates with encoding features (ranging from morpho-syntactic to semantic, discursive, and lexical ones) that are not predictable, or at best are only partially motivated. Through extensive corpus analysis, we identify such significant, frequency-based patterns of correlation, each of which represents a lexical construction. Our data thus argue strongly for an approach to polysemy in which individual meanings are represented as enriched lexical constructions, which include morphological and discursive specifications (in addition to standard valence information).

论古希腊和科普特运动动词的多义性

摘要 在本文中，我们建议对古希腊语和科普特语（萨希德方言）中的两个通用运动动词的含义进行结构分析，分别是动词 bainō 和 bok，这两个动词都被解释为“go”，并具有广泛的特征。多义性。我们认为，只有在识别动词意义级别的词汇结构的框架中才能对这些意义进行充分的分析，这表明每个意义都与编码特征相关（从形态句法到语义、话语和词汇特征） ) 是不可预测的，或者充其量只是部分动机。通过广泛的语料库分析，我们确定了如此重要的、基于频率的相关模式，每个模式都代表一个词汇结构。
