Brain potentials for derivational morphology: an ERP study of deadjectival nominalizations in Spanish.
This study investigates brain potentials to derived word forms in Spanish. Two experiments were performed on derived nominals that differ in terms of their productivity and semantic properties but are otherwise similar, an acceptability judgment task and a reading experiment using event-related brain potentials (ERPs) in which correctly and incorrectly formed derived words were presented in sen...
متن کاملTelic senses of deadjectival verbs
In this paper I address two main issues in the semantics of deadjectival verbs. First, I review alternative accounts of the nature of the telos associated with a deadjectival verb on a telic interpretation. Traditional accounts gloss the telic sense of a deadjectival verb as ‘become A’: for example, the telic interpretation of The sky cleared is ‘The sky became clear’. On this account, the telo...
متن کاملA Calculus of Eventualities
The present paper sketches how the event calculus of Kowalski and Sergot may be extended to address the problems of aspectual composition and the imperfective paradox. The primary extensions include the introduction of additional types of eventualities and a distinction between actual and non-actual entities. The calculus has been implemented as a logic program, and the inferences automatically...
متن کاملNominalizations: The Case of Nominalizations of Modal Predicates
Nominalizations describing events and tropes have a received considerable interest in the semantic (and philosophical) literature. By contrast, nominalizations of modal predicates and the modal objects they describe have received little, if any, attention in the literature so far. This paper is a case study of nominalizations of the sort need and possibility as well as permission, obligation, i...
متن کاملEventualities in Time
This paper addresses the general question of how eventualities should be localized in time. The more speciic question about the localization of states and events is discussed, too. For these questions the theory of tense and aspect in Discourse Representation Theory (DRT) is closely investigated, as far as relevant for single-sentence-discourses. The answers given here are mainly inspired by DR...
