Aspectual and causal structure in event representations
Melissa Bowerman’s research in argument structure and verbal semantics in language acquisition has had a profound influence on the study of argument structure, including my own work. I hope to return to her the favor in a small way by contributing this outline of an analysis of verbal semantics and argument linking that offers a way of representing some of the results of Bowerman’s research. In...
متن کاملInformation structure and aspectual competition
The imperfective aspect in Russian competes with the perfective in referring to events whose existence is entailed by the input context. In the first, major part of the paper (sections 1-5) I take a global view on aspectual competition, which is analyzed in light of various pragmatic constraints. It is shown in a bidirectional optimization how the default/unmarked imperfective in the appropriat...
متن کاملViewers' Sensitivity to Abstract Event Structure
Bounded and unbounded events differ in whether they include an inherent endpoint (Bach, 1986). Even though this distinction can be important for the way events are identified and processed, the literature on event cognition has not focused on such abstract aspects of event structure. In the present study, we asked whether viewers are sensitive to the distinction between bounded and unbounded ev...
متن کاملthe underlying structure of language proficiency and the proficiency level
هدف از انجام این تخقیق بررسی رابطه احتمالی بین سطح مهارت زبان خارجی (foreign language proficiency) و ساختار مهارت زبان خارجی بود. تعداد 314 زبان آموز مونث و مذکر که عمدتا دانشجویان رشته های زبان انگلیسی در سطوح کارشناسی و کارشناسی ارشد بودند در این تحقیق شرکت کردند. از لحاظ سطح مهارت زبان خارجی شرکت کنندگان بسیار با هم متفاوت بودند، (75 نفر سطح پیشرفته، 113 نفر سطح متوسط، 126 سطح مقدماتی). کلا ...
15 صفحه اولEvents and Aspectual Structure in Derivational Morphology1
Events have been represented as part of the lexicon (Grimshaw 1990; Pustejovsky 1991), as part of argument structure (Davidson 1967; Higginbotham 1985; Kratzer 1994), in aspectual projections (Tenny 1994; Borer 1994; Travis 1991, 1994) and as a property of Feature Checking (van Hout 1996). We argue that the Feature Checking account defined on Event related projections captures morphological var...
