Abstract:
This detailed, perceptive addition to the linguistics literature analyzes the
semantic components of event predicates, exploring their fine-grained elements
as well as their agency in linguistic processing. The papers go beyond pure
semantics to consider their varying influences of event predicates on argument
structure, aspect, scalarity, and event structure.
The volume shows how advances in the linguistic theory of event predicates,
which have spawned Davidsonian and neo-Davidsonian notions of event arguments,
in addition to ‘event structure’ frameworks and mereological models for the
eventuality domain, have sidelined research on specific sets of entailments
that support a typology of event predicates. Addressing this imbalance in the
literature, the work also presents evidence indicating a more complex role for
scalar structures than currently assumed. It will enrich the work of
semanticists, psycholinguists, and syntacticians with a decompositional
approach to verb phrase structure.
