Event Structures in Linguistic Form and Interpretation

This volume addresses the problem of how language expresses conceptual information on event structures and how such information can be reconstituted in the interpretation process. The papers present important new insights into recent semantic and syntactic research on the topic. The volume deals with the following problems in detail: event structure and syntactic construction, event structure and modification, event structure and plurality, event structure and temporal relation, event structure and situation aspect, and event structure and language ontology. Importantly, the topic is discussed not only on the basis of English and German but on the basis of other languages including Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, and Igbo as well. This volume thus provides solid evidence towards clarifying the empirical use of event based analyses.Dölling, Johannes is the author of 'Event Structures in Linguistic Form and Interpretation ', published 2007 under ISBN 9783110190663 and ISBN 3110190664.
