Languages of India

I often like sort of ways where you can change what we're used to thinking of in English as a lexical distinction. Like here and listen and turn it into some sort of syntactic or otherwise grammatical distinction. I don't know if you could put that into verbs of cognition. Maybe you could have two different kinds of things, but that's a little bit more abstract to try to think of. So this language has just the split you were talking about, George, I heard is a data experience to me here and then an auxiliary verb, whereas I listened, uses the nominative structure. Right.
