| Description: |
Discusses Davidsonian and neo-Davidsonian event analyses of verbs and verbal roles. This book also discusses theories of semantic plurality, focussing on the analysis of collective, distributive and cumulative readings. It develops a neo-Davidsonian theory of events and plurality, a theory of event-maximalization, and a theory of scopal relations. |
| Synopsis: |
JERUSALEM LECTURES In 1992, I was a Lady Davis Fellow in the English Department at the Hebrew Univer- sity of Jerusalem. In the context of this, Edit Doron asked me to present a series of weekly evening lectures. The idea was that I would be talking about my own current research on plurality in an event based theory, without the restraints that a nonnal seminar fonnat would im- pose: i.e. the idea was that I would actually get to the part where I would talk about my own work. At the same time, Edit added, it would be nice if, rather than just presupposing or presenting a neo-Davidsonian framework to develop my analysis of plurality, I could provide a more general setting of the problems by discussing in some depth the archi- tecture of event arguments and thematic roles. In particular, Terry Parsons' book, Par- sons 1990, had appeared relatively recently, and there was real interest among the audience in discussing Parsons' arguments for events and roles. |
