Syntax, Lexical Semantics, and Event Structure (Oxford Studies in Theoretical Linguistics) 1st Edition by Malka Rappaport Hovav (PDF)

Description

This book focuses on the linguistic representation of temporality in the verbal domain and its interaction with the syntax and semantics of verbs, arguments, and modifiers. Leading scholars explore the division of labour between syntax, compositional semantics, and lexical semantics in the encoding of event structure, encompassing event participants and the temporal properties associated with events. They examine the interface between event structure and the systems with which it interacts, including the interface between event structure and the syntactic realization of arguments and modifiers. Deploying a variety of frameworks and theoretical perspectives they consider central issues and questions in the field, among them whether argument-structure is specified in the lexical entries of verbs or syntactically constructed so that syntactic position determines thematic status; whether the hierarchical structure evidenced in argument structure find parallels in sign language;should the relation between members of an alternation pair, such as the causative-inchoative alternation, be understood lexically or derivationally; and the role of syntactic category in determining the configuration of argument structure.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐本書には序論も含めて16の論文が収められ、主として認知言語学的な観点からさまざまな言語事象が論じられているが、中心をなすのは事象構造（event structure）に関わる完了相(telic)/非完了相(atelic)の区分である。たとえば。「ケイトは生意気な笑みを浮かべた」は1. Kate gave (us) a cheeky smile.2. Kate smiled a cheeky smileであるが、文脈を無視したデフォルト的な解釈では両者は交換可能である。しかし、下記にみるように前者はtelic、後者はatelic である。3. *Kate gave (us) a cheeky smile until the boss came4. Kate smiled a cheeky smile until the boss came.同じことは、前置詞for, in についても言える。5. I have walked for an hour.6.I have walked five miles in [*for] an hour今はコーパス言語学全盛の時代であるが、この種の情報はコーパスから帰納できない情報である。
