This collection of new work focuses on issues at the lexicon-syntax interface. It presents innovative analyses of theoretical issues of aspectual interpretation in a variety of languages. The authors address questions such as to what extent can variation in verbal meaning, and thematic information can be determined in the syntax, and how the interpretation of various syntactic constructions is derived, once lexical information is minimized. A subset of the articles develops theories that take as their starting point the lexical-syntactic framework of the late Ken Hale and Jay Keyser, prominent among which is their own chapter.

an important contribution to the literature on aspect, argument mapping and interpretation, and the interface between the lexicon and the syntax ... this volume offers important insights into the structural and semantic underpinnings of the temporal and thematic properties of predicates, which take into account and are founded on a wealth of data from a range of languages. * Karen Zagona, Journal of Linguistics *
