This construction seems to be based on some common semantic structures, though languages differ as to the subjecthood of Dative Experiencer. In this paper, it is argued that Stative Experiencer Verbs share the underlying locative or possessive semantic structure, and cross-linguistic similarities and differences in the morphological case markings are due to the different rankings of some universal constraints on Case assignment. A well-known historical change that the English verb like underwent is regarded as restructuring the Locative lexical semantic structure to the Possessive semantic structure along with reranking some constraints.
