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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlexander Williams 'Patients in Igbo and Mandarin'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eJo-wang Lin:\u003c\/em\u003e Event Decomposition and the Syntax and Semantics of the Durative Phrase in Chinese; \u003cem\u003eMinjeong Son and Peter Cole:\u003c\/em\u003e Syntactic Decomposition of Events in Korean and Standard Indonesian; \u003cem\u003eKyle Rawlins:\u003c\/em\u003e Unifying Illegally; \u003cem\u003eMarcin Morzycki:\u003c\/em\u003e Adjectival Modification in AP: Evaluatives and a Little Beyond; \u003cem\u003eKjell Johan Sæbœ:\u003c\/em\u003e The Structure of Criterion Predicates; \u003cem\u003eMarkus Egg:\u003c\/em\u003e Reference to Embedded Eventualities; \u003cem\u003eAngelika Kratzer:\u003c\/em\u003e On the Plurality of Verbs; \u003cem\u003eKimiko Nakanishi:\u003c\/em\u003e Event Quantification and Distributivity; \u003cem\u003eAlexis Dimitriadis:\u003c\/em\u003e The Event Structures of Irreducibly Symmetric Reciprocals; \u003cem\u003eSheila Glasbey:\u003c\/em\u003e Existential Readings for Bare Plurals in Object Position; \u003cem\u003eCornelia Endriss\/Stefan Hinterwimmer:\u003c\/em\u003e Tense and Adverbial Quantification; \u003cem\u003eMarko Malink: \u003c\/em\u003eEvent Based Phase Structures and Quantification; \u003cem\u003eAlice G.B. ter Meulen:\u003c\/em\u003e Cohesion in Temporal Context: The Role of Aspectual Adverbs; \u003cem\u003eHooi Ling Soh\/Meijia Gao:\u003c\/em\u003e Mandarin Sentential -le, Perfect and English Already; \u003cem\u003eSusan Rothstein:\u003c\/em\u003e Two Puzzles for a Theory of Lexical Aspect: Semelfactives and Degree Achievements; \u003cem\u003eEri Tanaka:\u003c\/em\u003e The Notion of ‘Path’ in Aspectual Composition: Evidence from Japanese; \u003cem\u003eEric McCready\/Chiyo Nishida:\u003c\/em\u003e Reflexive Intransitives in Spanish and Event Semantics; \u003cem\u003eJohn Beavers:\u003c\/em\u003e Scalar Complexity and the Structure of Events; \u003cem\u003eChristopher Piñón:\u003c\/em\u003e Verbs of Creation; \u003cem\u003eRegine Eckardt:\u003c\/em\u003e The Lower Part of Event Ontology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516388172119,"sku":"9783110190663","price":185.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/event-structures-in-linguistic-form-and-interpretation-9783110190663","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
