/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p>In the past few years there has been an
important body of literature about the relationship between Aspect and
Argument Structure (Borer 2005; Ramchand 2008; Ritter&Rosen 2000,
2005; Rothstein 2008). The vast majority of studies have concentrated
on verbs and also, in a minor degree, on (deverbal) nouns. However,
much less is known in this respect about adjectives and participles.
In this workshop we want to fill this gap by gathering researchers
working on different aspects of Argument Structure and Aspect of
adjectives and participles. Our aim is to bring together researchers
from different approaches to discuss the articulation of the syntax,
semantics and morphology of this part of the grammar in order to
identify points of consensus and new venues for research. <br /> <br
/>Issues and questions we are interested in exploring within this
workshop include (bur are not limited to) the following:<br /><br
/>A) Aspectual characterization of adjectives. In the spirit of recent
lines of research (Bennis 2004; Borer 2005), some authors have argued
that the argument structure of adjectives is directly related to the
aspectual structure they embody (Arche 2006) and defend that (non
deverbal) adjectives can be part of stative and non-stative
structures. This view challenges the widespread tenet that adjectives
yield stative predications only and raises new questions concerning
the elements that can be considered as the stem of the particular
aspectual characterization. Are adjectives to be associated with an
aspectual characterization in the lexicon, or does this happen in the
syntax? Are constructionist approaches more fit to discuss aspectual
alternations? What is the role, if any, played by the Individual
Level/Stage Level alternation in this regard? Are there other
distinctions relevant for the analysis of adjectives? Is there any
interaction between scalar (Kennedy & McNally 2005) and aspectual
properties in the adjectival domain?<br /><br />B) Argument Structure
in adjectives. The interpretation of arguments in non-deverbal
categories has increasingly become the focus of attention in the
recent years. In this regard, the work developed around the
interpretation of nominals in adjectives referring to mental
properties (e.g. cruel) is an example (Stowell 1991; Kertz 2006; Arche
2006, 2010; Landau 2009; Marín 2010). However consensus concerning
the number of entries of this kind of adjectives in the mental lexicon
as well as the precise characterization of their argument structure
(e.g. what can be considered an argument vs. adjunct and how the
arguments are linked to the predicate) still needs to be found, and
rises some other questions. What is the relationship between the
argument structure of adjectives and their syntactic behavior? What
are the crucial argument structure alternations allowed by adjectives?
What are the thematic roles possible for adjectives? Are there any
thematic roles which cannot appear with adjectival predicates and, if
so, why?<br /><br />C) Aspect and argument structure in participles.
As deverbal forms, participles are assumed to convey the same
properties than base verbs in principle. Yet, how can this be
conciliated with the fact that they have their own aspectual features
as, for example, result(ant) states? What are the relations with the
base root verb and how and where is this articulated (e.g. in the
syntax or in the lexicon?) How much of the argument structure of
participles depends on the heritage from the verb? How exactly is the
theta grid constrained by the participle’s aspectual
condition?</p><br /><b>Área temática:</b> Morfología, Semántica,
