Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'The idiom κνήθομαι τὴν ἀκοήν involves two quite distinct semantic features. One is the desire to be pleased, and the second is the means of such gratification, namely, what is heard. It would be possible to classify this idiom either under Sensory Events and States (Domain 24) or in the domain of Attitudes and Emotions. Since in {S:05500400300036} the latter seems the more focal feature of meaning, the idiom is included in the domain of Attitudes and Emotions.'}
