tǝmʃʌ kǝrdǝn ‘to look’ is an experiential predicate in Garrusi Kurdish whose arguments and event structure are represented as a coverb complex predicate. The present study explores how arguments are encoded in the predicate-argument construction of tǝmʃʌ kǝrdǝn based on Croft’s typological perspective (2022). It aims at investigating what strategies are employed by this verbal event to express its participants’ roles, which grammatical and semantic functions are hosted by its components, and how its event structure is represented with respect to its argument structure. For this purpose, we conducted a fieldwork and interviewed 30 native speakers of Garrusi Kurdish. We used Wallace Chafe’s The Pear Story film as a catalyst for our data collection and recorded Kurdish narratives. 88 tokens of tǝmʃʌ kǝrdǝn, extracted from our discursive corpus, were investigated for the study of argument coding strategies. We found that this experiential complex predicate manifests variation in the participants’ argument coding and the type of the event it expresses. It basically used experiencer-oriented strategy, encoding the experiencer as a subject argument phrase. However, the stimulus showed variation in coding strategy, expressed as an object argument phrase, as an oblique argument phrase, or as a complement clause. Out of 88 tokens of tǝmʃʌ kǝrdǝn, only 16 cases employed subject-object argument structure. The most tokenized coding strategy was subject-oblique argument coding with a locative/goal stimulus. This complex predicate was also observed to function as a subevent in serial verb construction. It could also express a different event structure.
