Variability of the Cognitive Focus in Verbal Binomials such as <i>sow and plough</i>
The article presents the results of the linguistic experiment with the variability of the structure of verbal binominals included in one frame scenario. The analysis regards the shift in the cognitive focus of predications. The study showed that the order of verbs in such pairs is crucial since the semantics of the verb in the first position is in the cognitive focus of the speaker and it specifies the relevant circumstances of the situation.
