Chapter 2On the Criteria for Distinguishing Accomplishments from Activities, and Two Types of Aspectual Misfits

Mittwoch, Anita

Pages: 27 –48

[In the literature on aspect at least eight criteria have been used for distinguishing between Vendlerian activities and accomplishments. This paper submits these criteria to a critical survey. Some of them are found to have exceptions and/or to need revision. It will be shown that in certain...

Chapter 3Lexicalized Meaning and Manner/Result Complementarity

Levin, Beth; Hovav, Malka Rappaport

Pages: 49 –70

[We investigate the English verbs climb and cut, cited as counterexamples to manner/result complementarity: the proposal that verbs lexicalize either manner or result meaning components, but not both. Once their lexicalized meaning is identified and distinguished from contextually determined...

Chapter 4Oriented Adverbs and Object Experiencer Psych-Verbs

Martin, Fabienne

Pages: 71 –97

[‘Non agentive’ object experiencer verbs (e.g. interest) as well as achievement verbs (e.g. find) are traditionally taken to be incompatible with oriented adverbs like cleverly. Research on large corpora disconfirms this claim. This paper accounts for the distribution of these ‘weakly agentive’...

Chapter 5Two Sources of Scalarity Within the Verb Phrase

Bochnak, M. Ryan

Pages: 99 –123

[In this paper I argue for two distinct sources of scalarity within the verb phrase, focusing specifically on VPs headed by incremental theme verbs. First, there is a quantity scale associated with the presence of an incremental theme argument. The scale structure of the quantity scale is...

Chapter 6Interaction of Telicity and Degree Gradation in Change of State Verbs

Fleischhauer, Jens

Pages: 125 –152

[The paper discusses the degree gradation of verbs in German by the adverb sehr (very, very much). The main focus of the paper is on the gradation of change of state verbs and the interaction of degree gradation and telicity. It is argued that the gradability of telic change of state verbs...

Chapter 7On Adverbs of (Space and) Time

Rawlins, Kyle

Pages: 153 –193

[This paper gives an account of adverbs such as “slowly” and “quickly” in a range of positions, focusing on their interaction with measure phrases in the comparative. To account for the unusual pattern of measure phrases, I arrive at a proposal with the following components: (i) such adverbs need...

Chapter 8The Processing Domain of Aspectual Interpretation

Bott, Oliver

Pages: 195 –229

[In the semantic literature lexical aspect is often treated as a property of VPs or even of whole sentences. Does the interpretation of lexical aspect – contrary to the incrementality assumption commonly made in psycholinguistics – have to wait until the verb and all its arguments are present? To...

Chapter 9Event End-Point Primes the Undergoer Argument: Neurobiological Bases of Event Structure Processing

Malaia, Evie; Wilbur, Ronnie B.; Weber-Fox, Christine

Pages: 231 –248

[Telicity as an element of subatomic semantics is often formulated as a property of the verb referring to a change-of-state event (catch, vanish). Atelic verbs, on the other hand, refer to homogenous activities or states (tease, sleep). Telic, or change-of-state verbs infer existence of an...
