Lexical Semantics, Syntax, and Event Structure (Oxford Studies in Theoretical Linguistics) (Oxford Studies in Theoretical Linguistics No. 27)

This book focuses on the linguistic representation of temporality in the verbal domain and its interaction with the syntax and semantics of verbs, arguments, and modifiers. Leading scholars explore the division of labour between syntax, compositional semantics, and lexical semantics in the encoding of event structure.
