either by altering the verbal action as such through added emphasis [on?]
I translated the sentence in my previous answer. Note that I introduced synonyms for "change" in the subordinate clauses to emphasize what is going on in this complicated sentence. There is an ambiguity in the original (query author?) about what is being emphasized, the meaning of the verb itself, or the subject. I'm inclined to think it's the subject because of the inclusino/exclusion part that follows and the later reference to the speaker's attitude.
My take on the whole sentence:
The varied meanings of these suffixes can change the semantic value of the verb, either by altering the verbal action as such through added emphasis [on?] or inclusion/exclusion of the participating subject or by modifying the subjective/intentional attitude of the speaker.

Note from asker:
| Yes, I agree with the first paragraph you wrote re: incl/excl and attittude. I think this is the best solution... |
