Call for Papers:

The nature of states and events has been widely discussed in the theoretical
literature. Since Vendler (1957), the distinction between dynamic situations
(''opening a window'') and non-dynamic situations (''loving my mother'') has
been at the center of a heated discussion. Despite the plethora of linguistic
theories, there are few studies on the cognitive foundation of these
phenomena.

Our Special Session focuses on whether and how psycholinguistic experiments
address the available theoretical alternatives concerning events and states.
How can semantic and pragmatic theories contribute to a cognitively plausible
model of the processing of events and states? We welcome contributions that
relate to the following topics:

- Empirical approaches to modification of states and events
- Theoretical approaches to a cognitive model of the processing of situation
types
- Case studies of phenomena on the border of states and events
- Types of modification and how they affect the state/event divide
- Cognitive processes underlying the processing of states and events

Presentation slots are 20 minutes long with 10 minutes discussion.
