Abstract:
This book contributes to the growing work on scale-based formal semantic
approaches to verbal phenomena. It presents a new scale-based framework for
both aspectual classes and grammatical aspect with the aim of offering an
analysis of achievements in the progressive. In order to analyse these, the
temporal trace function is relativised to a granularity parameter, and the
semantics of the progressive operator is assumed to involve partitivity over
scales of change.
To this end, a novel concept of a scale of change is adopted, building on a
bottom-up idea of associating scales with events and characterising verbal
predicates via event-level scales. As a crucial departure from former
scale-based approaches, predicates like ärrive" are associated with both
two-valued and multi-valued scales of change. The new framework can then
capture fine-grained aspectual class differences and predict the
interpretations of the progressive for different aspectual classes. (Logos

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
