Intensionality and Coercion∗
Several linguistic tests were developed to distinguish aspectual classes. For example, adverbial modification with for two hours is possible with activities (John ran for two hours) but not with accomplishments (*John built a house for two years) or achievements. Temporal modification with the adverbial in two hours shows the reverse pattern. Usually only activities and accomplishments can occu...
متن کاملCoercion and Compositionality
Research in psycholinguistics and in the cognitive neuroscience of language has suggested that semantic and syntactic processing are associated with different neurophysiologic correlates, such as the N400 and the P600 in the ERPs. However, only a handful of studies have investigated the neural basis of the syntax-semantics interface, and even fewer experiments have dealt with the cases in which...
متن کاملPossessives, Favorite, and Coercion
Possessive constructions like John’s teacher, John’s team, John’s cat, friend of John’s offer an interesting test-bed for the argument-modifier distinction in NPs, both in English and cross-linguistically. Many, perhaps all, possessives seem to have some properties of arguments and some of modifiers, but some seem more argument-like and some more modifier-like. Recent proposals by Jensen and Vi...

Coercion is a much-discussed topic in the linguistic literature. This article expands the usual range of cases at the most subtle and the most extreme end: it demonstrates how coercion extends into semantic flexibility on the one hand and into idiomaticity on the other. After discussing a broad variety of coercion cases in syntax and morphology and briefly reviewing the equally diverse literatu...
