Abstract:

In this volume leading researchers present new work on the semantics and
pragmatics of adjectives and adverbs, and their interfaces with syntax. Its
concerns include the semantics of gradability; the relationship between
adjectival scales and verbal aspect; the relationship between meaning and
the positions of adjectives and adverbs in nominal and verbal projections;
and the fine-grained semantics of different subclasses of adverbs and
adverbs. Its goals are to provide a comprehensive vision of the
linguistically significant structural and interpretive properties of
adjectives and adverbs, to highlight the similarities between these two
categories, and to signal the importance of a careful and detailed
integration of lexical and compositional semantics. 

The editors open the book with an overview of current research before
introducing and contextualizing the remaining chapters. The work is aimed
at scholars and advanced students of syntax, semantics, formal pragmatics,
and discourse. It will also appeal to researchers in philosophy,
psycholinguistics, and language acquisition interested in the syntax and
semantics of adjectives and adverbs.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
