He discusses theories of events and how a network model of language-in-the-mind should be theorized; what the lexicon is; how to probe word meaning; evidence for structure in word meaning; polysemy; the lexical semantics of causation; a type hierarchy of events; and event types cross-linguistically. He also looks at the relationship between different classes of events or event types and aktionsarten; transitivity alternations and argument linking. Gisborne argues that the social and cognitive embedding of language, requires a view of linguistic structure as a network where even the analysis of verb meaning can require an understanding of the role of speaker and hearer.","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210744324439,"sku":"9789004358966","price":99.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ten-lectures-on-event-structure-in-a-network-theory-of-language-9789004358966","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
