Synopsis
In recent years, the study of events and their role as implicit arguments of predicates has been at the center of much important work in semantics and the syntax/semantics interface. This volume brings together fourteen original studies by leading scholars in semantics and the syntax/semantics interface, covering a broad spectrum of research into the role of events in grammar. The papers extensively address the following topics, among others: event arguments and thematic argument structure; the role of events in verbal aspectual distinctions; events and the distinction between stage and individual level predicates; the role of events in the analysis of plurality and scope relations, the mass/count distinction, and propositional attitudes.Audience: Events and Grammar will be of interest to scholars and students of theoretical linguistics, in particular in the fields of semantics and syntax, philosophers of language, computational linguists, and computer scientists with an interest in the semantics of natural language.
