Summary/Abstract: The article presents several parallels between the s-selection and argument selection of, on the one hand, speech predicates and speech-perception predicates, and, on the other hand, dative predicates and their converse antonyms. The focus lies on the differences and similarities between Bulgarian, Swedish and Danish as regards the deriving prototypical basic sentences containing such predicates, and analogies are made with predicate pairs such as give ~ receive. The main theoretical framework is a minimalist version of X-bar theory.
