Product Description

This volume addresses the problem of how language expresses conceptual information on event structures and how such information can be reconstructed 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.

§06§ §15§§Dieser Band befasst sich mit dem Problem, wie konzeptuelle Information über Ereignisstrukturen in der Sprache ausgedrückt und im Interpretationsprozess rekonstruiert wird. Die in ihm versammelten Beiträge präsentieren wichtige neue Einsichten aus der gegenwärtigen semantischen und syntaktischen Forschung zu diesem Gegenstand. Im Einzelnen werden folgende Problembereiche behandelt: Ereignisstruktur und syntaktische Konstruktion, Ereignisstruktur und Modifikation, Ereignisstruktur und Plural, Ereignisstruktur und temporale Beziehung, Ereignisstruktur und Situationsaspekt sowie Ereignisstruktur und Sprachontologie. Hervorzuheben ist, dass die Thematik nicht nur anhand des Englischen und Deutschen, sondern auch anhand von anderen Sprachen wie dem Mandarin, Japanischen, Koreanischen, Indonesischen und Igbo diskutiert wird. Der Band liefert damit einen überzeugenden Beleg für die empirische Fruchtbarkeit von ereignisbasierten Analysen.§ §07§ §16§§This volume addresses the problem of how language expresses conceptual information on event structures and how such information can be reconstructed in the interpretation process.
