Description: In recent years, the study of events and their role as implicit arguments of predicates, has been at the center of much important work in semantics and the syntax/semantics interface. This volume brings together fourteen original studies by leading scholars in semantics and the syntax/semantics interface, covering a broad spectrum of research into the role of events in grammar. Events and Grammar will be of interest to scholars and students of theoretical linguistics, in particular in the fields of semantics and syntax, philosophers of language, computational linguists, and computer scientists with an interest in the semantics of natural language.
