Almost from Aristotle’s Metaphysics, it has been assumed that verbs invoke a mental image about the way in which eventualities are distributed over time. When it comes to determining time schemata, the lexical class to which the verb belongs represents a first step. Speaking about verb classes does not exclusively mean a semantic similarity; rather, verb classes exhibit a bundle of common features and thus show a set of recursive behavior patterns. Beyond the meaning of the verb, both semantic and syntactic factors, together with pragmatic ones, play a decisive role when establishing the aspectual classification of an eventuality. The contributions collected in this book approach the aforementioned lines, either analyzing the relationships between aspect and syntactic structure or traversing the path from a verb class to its syntactic manifestation. Some of them stress diachronic filiations, while others include processes of word formation in the debate; some of them focus on certain classes, such as movement verbs or psychological verbs, while others examine specific constructions. A number of chapters also discuss relevant theoretical issues concerning the analysis of aspect. In sum, the kaleidoscopic view provided by this book allows the reader to delve deeper into one of the most controversial – as well as exciting – topics within current linguistics. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/ivitra.9.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027240156.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027240156.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/ivitra.9.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/ivitra.9.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/ivitra.9.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/ivitra.9.hb.png 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.001pre 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.001pre vii xvi 10 Miscellaneous 1 01 04 Preface Preface 1 A01 01 JB code 907249221 Elisa Barrajón López Barrajón López, Elisa Elisa Barrajón López University of Alicante 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/907249221 2 A01 01 JB code 225249222 José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia Cifuentes Honrubia, José Luis José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia University of Alicante 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/225249222 3 A01 01 JB code 472249223 Susana Rodríguez Rosique Rodríguez Rosique, Susana Susana Rodríguez Rosique University of Alicante 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/472249223 01 eng 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.002con 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.002con xvii xviii 2 Miscellaneous 2 01 04 List of contributors List of contributors 01 eng 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.01bar 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.01bar 1 20 20 Article 3 01 04 The conceptualization of change of state in verbs coming from gentilicios The conceptualization of change of state in verbs coming from gentilicios 1 A01 01 JB code 282249224 Elisa Barrajón López Barrajón López, Elisa Elisa Barrajón López 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/282249224 01 eng 30 00 This paper has as its aim to examine the way in which the meaning of the derivative base (regardless of its denominal or deadjectival nature, although it will be demonstrated here that it rather follows an adjectival behavior) influences the semantics of verbs coming from gentilicios (africanizar/se, gauchear, etc.) and, consequently, to identify the underlying argument structure in each case, as well as their main aspectual properties. The conceptual components involved in the process leading to the formation of these complex units can appear explicitly or amalgamate with the verb. According to the semantically conflated component, the argument scheme will be different: Hacer X a Y [To make Y become X], Hacerse X [To become X] or Comportarse X [To behave X]. Nevertheless, it is worth highlighting that the border between the last two schemes is not always clear. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.02bat 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.02bat 21 59 39 Article 4 01 04 Event structure and lexical semantics in a scalar approach to actionality Event structure and lexical semantics in a scalar approach to actionality 1 A01 01 JB code 94249225 Olga Bathiukova Bathiukova, Olga Olga Bathiukova 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/94249225 01 eng 30 00 This paper offers a scalar analysis of Russian verbal forms derived with the prefix pro-. The proposed approach is crucially based on two notions integrated into the Generative Lexicon framework: Dynamic Event Structure, a representation of the internal makeup of events in terms of subevents or phases which allows tracking the change of the arguments’ properties over time; and change function, which accounts for the different ways in which these properties may be affected (i.e., initiated, terminated, modified or left unchanged) in the course of the event. Special emphasis is placed on the role of scalar properties of the nominal arguments in the composition of change-of-state predicates. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.03ber 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.03ber 60 76 17 Article 5 01 04 Lexical synonymy and argumental structure Lexical synonymy and argumental structure 01 04 Similarities and divergences in the syntactic-semantic schemes of two cognitive Spanish verbs:recordar and acordar(se) Similarities and divergences in the syntactic-semantic schemes of two cognitive Spanish verbs:recordar and acordar(se) 1 A01 01 JB code 650249226 Celia Berná Sicilia Berná Sicilia, Celia Celia Berná Sicilia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/650249226 01 eng 30 00 Verbs that present synonymous relations usually articulate, due to their meaning identity, correlations of the syntactic-semantic order, and due to this, they constitute an interesting field of study for delimiting, with exactitude, where the specific character of each lexical unit resides. This work will try to delve into the similarities and divergences of two synonymous verbs, recordar and acordar(se). With this objective in mind, a comparative analysis on their peculiar syntactic-semantic behavior will be performed, using the information extracted from two databases (ADESSE and FramNet). The results point to the existence of zones of convergences, but also to specific features in their semotactic combination that helps with the configuration of their singular syntactic-semantic profile within the semantic class of cognition verbs. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.04bos 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.04bos 77 97 21 Article 6 01 04 Inner and outer prepositions with Spanish verbs of vertical movement Inner and outer prepositions with Spanish verbs of vertical movement 1 A01 01 JB code 442249227 Ignacio Bosque Muñoz Bosque Muñoz, Ignacio Ignacio Bosque Muñoz 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/442249227 01 eng 30 00 The lexical structure of Spanish displacement verbs is argued to be built up out of prepositions, whether covert or overt, subject to a number of incorporation processes. Some fine-grained semantic distinctions are introduced on the concepts of ‘goal’ and ‘path’. These and other conceptual components (specifically, direction and source) are shown to participate in various configurations involving conflation proceses at the lexical structure of verbs of vertical movement. A relationship is established between redundancy in transitive structures derived from unergative predicates and similarly redundant V-P structures with displacement verbs. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.05can 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.05can 98 109 12 Article 7 01 04 Argumental comitative and reciprocity in Spanish Argumental comitative and reciprocity in Spanish 1 A01 01 JB code 234249228 José Antonio Candalija Reina Candalija Reina, José Antonio José Antonio Candalija Reina 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/234249228 01 eng 30 00 This research paper deals with the reciprocity relationships in Spanish. It is our intention to establish the conditions needed in reciprocal constructions and their distinctive characteristics. One of these features is the presence of an argument characterized by being semantically obligatory and syntactically marked by the Spanish preposition con. This argument is referred to as ‘argumental comitative’ and is determined by a certain kind of symmetrical reciprocity, which is gradual and is related to the active role of the agent. This argument has to do with some types of alternations in Spanish verbs that present a syntactic constraint that is referred to as complemento de regimen preposicional in Spanish and is the syntactic function that represents the argumental comitative in these types of reciprocal constructions. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.06cif 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.06cif 110 130 21 Article 8 01 04 Causativity and psychological verbs in Spanish Causativity and psychological verbs in Spanish 1 A01 01 JB code 776249229 José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia Cifuentes Honrubia, José Luis José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/776249229 01 eng 30 00 This paper analyzes the transitive/intransitive alternation in class 2 psychological verbs of Belletti and Rizzi. The transitive variant implies an agentive subject and an aspectual change of state. The intransitive variant implies a cause and a locative state. Spanish class 2 psychological verbs are causative due to the cause component conflated in the verbal structure which gives rise to the verb: most of the psychological verbs with a transitive/intransitive alternation are denominal or deadjetival causative verbs from Romance origin. Some others come from a Latin denominal or deadjectival structure or from a causative meaning which comes as a result of an evolution in their meaning (usually agentive and local). Psychological verbs result from a conflation process by means of which the verb semantically incorporates the psychological element – as it results from a verbal lexicalization of the emotional or psychological noun or adjective, thus shaping a complex predicate. Psychological verbs are consequently complex predicates with a semantically incorporated psychological element. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.07dem 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.07dem 131 152 22 Article 9 01 04 Lexical agreement processes Lexical agreement processes 01 04 On the construction of verbal aspect On the construction of verbal aspect 1 A01 01 JB code 568249230 Elena De Miguel Aparicio De Miguel Aparicio, Elena Elena De Miguel Aparicio 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/568249230 01 eng 30 00 This paper examines the construction of verbal aspect as a sub-case of generation of verbal lexical meaning. The analysis is based on Pustejovsky’s (1995) Generative Lexicon and assumes the existence of a set of lexical agreement processes that match the lexical features of arguments (and adjuncts) with the information contained in the meta-entry of the verb in the mental lexicon. Verbal meta-entries include distinct sub-structures, among them the Event Structure, which is composed of different phases or sub-events. The materialization of some subevents or others depends on the agreement processes triggered by the arguments and adjuncts and gives rise to different aspectual meanings for the same verb. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.08del 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.08del 153 184 32 Article 10 01 04 Variable aspectual coercion in Spanish fictive motion expressions Variable aspectual coercion in Spanish fictive motion expressions 1 A01 01 JB code 311249231 Nicole Delbecque Delbecque, Nicole Nicole Delbecque 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/311249231 01 eng 30 00 Fictive motion expressions blur the distinction between stativity and dynamicity. The paper presents a corpus-based exploration of the variable ways in which structural and procedural knowledge merge in Spanish fictive motion expressions with oriented-motion verbs and manner-of-motion verbs. The metaphorical projection from motion to stativity does not necessarily conform to the aspectual restrictions associated with state descriptions. In addition to the verb’s semantics and the profile of the depicted entity, the degree of dynamicity of the blend is further determined by a range of lexical and grammatical choices. Among them figure the kind of spatial coordinates, grammatical aspect, quantifying and temporal adverbial modifiers, as well as viewing perspective. Per parameter, some factors reinforce the bias towards dynamism, whereas others downgrade it. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.09dem 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.09dem 185 217 33 Article 11 01 04 Agent control over non culminating events Agent control over non culminating events 1 A01 01 JB code 84249232 Hamida Demirdache Demirdache, Hamida Hamida Demirdache University of Nantes 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/84249232 2 A01 01 JB code 146249233 Fabienne Martin Martin, Fabienne Fabienne Martin University of Stuttgart 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/146249233 01 eng 30 00 This paper investigates a correlation between the availability of non-culminating construals for accomplishments and the control of the agent over the described event (the Agent Control Hypothesis, ach). We consider two versions of the ach, on the basis of a new typology of non-culminating construals. On the strong version, non-culmination requires agent control whether what is being denied is the occurrence of any change of state of the type φ encoded by the verb, or merely that the change of state satisfies the property φ to degree 1. On its weak version, agent control is required in the former case only. The evidence reviewed from Romance, Germanic, Salish, and Mandarin, suggests that the weak version of the ach might indeed hold. The weak version of the ach seems, however, to be too weak for Salish languages. The final section shows how the existing analyses of non-culminating construals could capture the link between non-culmination and agentivity. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.10fer 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.10fer 218 237 20 Article 12 01 04 The pseudo-copulative verbs verse and sentirse The pseudo-copulative verbs verse and sentirse 01 04 diachronic and conceptual aspects diachronic and conceptual aspects 1 A01 01 JB code 824249234 Jorge Fernández Jaén Fernández Jaén, Jorge Jorge Fernández Jaén 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/824249234 01 eng 30 00 This paper has as its purpose to present a diachronic analysis of the pseudo-copulative verbs verse and sentirse carried out from the theoretical postulates of cognitive semantics and the grammaticalization theory. It will be proved that these two pseudo-copulas in Spanish have been formed within a historical process determined by the conceptual properties of the transitive verbs ver [see] and sentir [feel], additionally highlighting the main functional differences between verse and sentirse and their specific semantic nuances. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.11fer 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.11fer 238 263 26 Article 13 01 04 On events that express properties On events that express properties 1 A01 01 JB code 623249235 María Jesús Fernández Leborans Fernández Leborans, María Jesús María Jesús Fernández Leborans Complutense University of Madrid 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/623249235 2 A01 01 JB code 679249236 Cristina Sánchez López Sánchez López, Cristina Cristina Sánchez López Complutense University of Madrid 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/679249236 01 eng 30 00 This paper provides empirical support to the hypothesis that habitual readings and dispositional/capacitative readings are different kinds of generic statements, generated by different operators: an aspectual operator HABASP is responsible for the habitual reading and a like modal dispositional operator MODDISP is responsible for the dispositional reading. We analyze the Spanish construction <ser muy de + infinitive>, ex. María es muy de fumar puros (lit. [María is very of smoking cigars]). This construction put together the meaning of a habitual sentence like María often smokes cigars, realized in the infinitive clause, and the meaning of an Individual Level predicate like María is a cigar smoker, realized in a predicative prepositional phrase muy de. Our analysis explains both the properties of the construction as an IL-predicate that contain an infinitive clause with habitual reading and the restrictions about the predicates that can enter the construction. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.12gar 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.12gar 264 287 24 Article 14 01 04 Some reflections on verbs with clitic increase Some reflections on verbs with clitic increase 01 04 Verbs of motion Verbs of motion 1 A01 01 JB code 584249237 Luis García Fernández García Fernández, Luis Luis García Fernández 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/584249237 01 eng 30 00 In this paper we will address the different values of se, one of the classic problems in Spanish grammar. Specifically, we will talk about the clitic which in the usual descriptions has no argumental value and is non-referential: the clitic sometimes called the reflexive-intensive and more recently the aspectual. We will also examine the clitic which appears with a number of verbs of motion and has also been termed aspectual. As we are dealing with a paradigmatic use of se, we will use the term “clitic increase” in order not to give the impression that we are dealing with a specific problem of the form se. This study is set out as follows: in Section 1 we introduce the two structures to be analysed. The first, is the use with transitive verbs, what we might call prototypical (comerse la paella ([to eat up the paella]) and the second deals with intransitive verbs. In Section 2, verbs of motion with clitic increase are analysed, the more relevant grammatical properties are described and a constant meaning is assigned to the appearance of the clitic. This leads us to a proposal for syntactic analysis in which the clitic is the head of the VoiceP. Then, in Section 3, we review the main properties of the first structure type and we show that our analysis also takes these into consideration. In 4, we consider the question of whether the differences introduced by the appearance of the clitic should be explained by lexicon or grammar. We end with conclusions and bibliography. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.13gar 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.13gar 288 311 24 Article 15 01 04 Transitivity and verb classes Transitivity and verb classes 1 A01 01 JB code 254249238 José María García-Miguel García-Miguel, José María José María García-Miguel 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/254249238 01 eng 30 00 The received concept of transitivity includes several semantic properties based on the idea that transitive clauses express an action performed by an agent on a patient, and suggest that transitive syntactic structures typically refer to concrete actions. Arguably, a semantic characterization of syntactic transitivity requires independent definitions of semantic and syntactic transitivity and needs more empirical support. This paper is an initial quantitative exploration of semantic verb types and transitive syntactic structures in a Spanish corpus-based syntactic-semantic database (ADESSE) and in a typological valency patterns database (ValPaL), and it somewhat calls into question the hypothesis that transitive syntactic structures are more strongly associated with verbs expressing concrete actions performed by an agent than with verbs expressing certain kinds of mental states. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.14kai 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.14kai 312 333 22 Article 16 01 04 Romance object-experiencer verbs Romance object-experiencer verbs 01 04 From aktionsart to activity hierarchy From aktionsart to activity hierarchy 1 A01 01 JB code 966249239 Rolf Kailuweit Kailuweit, Rolf Rolf Kailuweit 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/966249239 01 eng 30 00 The present paper deals with Romance Objective-Experiencer verbs (OE-verbs). I will show that the different subclasses fit into a continuum between a causative and an unaccusative pole. In order to describe their varying syntactic behaviour, a finer-grained analysis of the subevents they denote will elucidate that a traditional approach following the Vendler-Dowty classes of aktionsart will reach its limit when it comes to OE-verbs. My claim is that case assignment to the experiencer does not straightforwardly follow from the aktionsart class, but from the activity contrast between the two arguments of the verb. The presence or absence of causativity explains the differentiation between two types of ­experiencer: (a) a more passive causatively affected experiencer and (b) a less passive experiencer undergoing a change of state in a particular situation without being affected by an external causer. In addition, we find a third type of OE-verb: prototypically unaccustative (ergative) verbs, such as verbs of liking, which select a more active experiencer expressing a subjective judgement. These three types constitute prototypical categories with fuzzy edges. Romance languages differ in the way they code the three types at the lexical level and at the level of the constructional inventory. The results can be formalized following the activity hierarchy approach (Kailuweit 2013). 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.15lav 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.15lav 334 356 23 Article 17 01 04 Aspectual approach to causative-resultative denominal verbs Aspectual approach to causative-resultative denominal verbs 1 A01 01 JB code 758249240 Ruth María Lavale-Ortiz Lavale-Ortiz, Ruth María Ruth María Lavale-Ortiz 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/758249240 01 eng 30 00 This paper has as its aim to verify the hypothesis according to which a verbal semantic class might correspond to a homogeneous aspectual characterization, since it could be thought that all the lexical items which share semantic features within the same class should be given the same aspectual definition. With that aim in mind, and after considering the whole set of causative denominal verbs in Spanish, our choice was to focus on the subset of causative-resultative denominal verbs where in turn it is possible to distinguish two semantic subtypes. Working on the basis of a corpus and the application of grammatical tests, the present study proves that the aspectual characterization of these verbs is not homogeneous; instead, a certain degree of variation exists within the semantic category. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.16mer 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.16mer 357 377 21 Article 18 01 04 Denominal parasynthesis and inchoativity from both lexical-semantic and aspectual points of view Denominal parasynthesis and inchoativity from both lexical-semantic and aspectual points of view 1 A01 01 JB code 398249241 Nuria Merchán Aravid Merchán Aravid, Nuria Nuria Merchán Aravid 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/398249241 01 eng 30 00 The present paper deals with a specific verb class: parasynthetic denominal verbs with an inchoative meaning. Analyzing them requires connecting two notions that belong to different linguistic analysis levels: the morphological mechanism of denominal parasynthesis – a particular word formation process starting from a noun – and the semantic notion of inchoativity – which expresses a change of state in the notional subject. This relation is especially productive with affixes such as a- and em-/en-, and with the verbal endings -ar, -ecer and -ear. The aim of this survey is twofold: on the one hand, to show how the study of the conceptualization base in the resulting structure makes it possible to establish different groups of denominal parasynthetic verbs; and, on the other hand, to determine the aspectual characteristics of inchoative denominal parasynthetic verbs so as to try to identify the aspectual class to which they could belong. The outcome is a proposal of characterization and classification that fills the gap concerning inchoative parasynthetic denominal verbs, since they have not been systematically analyzed in Spanish grammars so far. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.17pro 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.17pro 378 411 34 Article 19 01 04 Diachronic prototypicity and stativity in Spanish physical affection verbs Diachronic prototypicity and stativity in Spanish physical affection verbs 1 A01 01 JB code 206249242 Herminia Provencio Garrigós Provencio Garrigós, Herminia Herminia Provencio Garrigós 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/206249242 01 eng 30 00 This paper shows a diachronic research about the aspectual nature of the verbs doler [to hurt], picar [to itch], arder [to burn], escocer [to sting] and hormiguear [to tingle]. Special attention is paid to physical affection meanings (to suffer or experience pain, itch, burning, stinging and tingling in some part of the body), which basically denote a stative aspectual value. The priority aim of this research is to prove that, throughout the diachrony of the Spanish language, these verbs have traveled between staticity and dynamism, which permits to establish a prototypicity scale within the class of transitory, uncontrolled states where these verbs belong. The existing theoretical proposals about state predicates are considered, and a diachronic-corpus-based is utilized in order to achieve this aim. Our findings suggest that the aspectual continuum results from the combination of three elements: the lexico-semantic characteristics of the verb; the syntactic contexts where it is inserted; and the pragmatic conditions perceived by the person who experiences the affection denoted by the predicate. This union is projected in the different ways to conceptualize transitory, uncontrolled states, and it highlights that, despite being the prototypical physical affection state verb in Spain, doler [to hurt] is the one which presents a higher degree of dynamism because it appears in a greater number of dynamic contexts. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.18rod 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.18rod 412 437 26 Article 20 01 04 Negative imperatives with Spanish copulas ser y estar Negative imperatives with Spanish copulas ser y estar 1 A01 01 JB code 790249243 Susana Rodríguez Rosique Rodríguez Rosique, Susana Susana Rodríguez Rosique 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/790249243 01 eng 30 00 This chapter analyzes a number of predicates with Spanish ser and estar which may occur in the imperative: behavior predicates, controlled states, and emotional predicates. The imperative mood is usually related to action and, therefore, it would seem somewhat strange to think of constructions where this mood could combine with prototypical copular verbs such as ser and estar, initially conceived as stative. More precisely, this paper focuses on the negative imperative, which is expressed in Spanish through the adverb no + the subjunctive mood when appearing in specific discourse situations. Both the occurrence of negation and that of the subjunctive lead to take into account the information structure, which in fact reveals decisive data about the nature and behavior of these predicates. In this respect, the imperative serves as a source of evidence when it comes to proving heterogeneity within the ‘states’ class as well as to exploring its boundaries. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.19ind 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.19ind 439 446 8 Miscellaneous 21 01 04 Index Index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/ivitra.9 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 20151125 C 2015 John Benjamins D 2015 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027240156 WORLD 09 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 https://jbe-platform.com 29 https://jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027267856 21 01 00 Unqualified price 02 99.00 EUR 01 00 Unqualified price 02 83.00 GBP GB 01 00 Unqualified price 02 149.00 USD 88016467 03 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code IVITRA 9 Hb 15 9789027240156 06 10.1075/ivitra.9 13 2015027934 00 BB 08 965 gr 10 01 JB code IVITRA 02 2211-5412 02 9.00 01 02 IVITRA Research in Linguistics and Literature IVITRA Research in Linguistics and Literature 01 01 Verb Classes and Aspect Verb Classes and Aspect 1 B01 01 JB code 151240093 Elisa Barrajón López Barrajón López, Elisa Elisa Barrajón López University of Alicante 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/151240093 2 B01 01 JB code 82240094 José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia Cifuentes Honrubia, José Luis José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia University of Alicante 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/82240094 3 B01 01 JB code 325240095 Susana Rodríguez Rosique Rodríguez Rosique, Susana Susana Rodríguez Rosique University of Alicante 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/325240095 01 eng 11 460 03 03 xviii 03 00 446 03 01 23 415/.6 03 2015 P291 04 Grammar, Comparative and general--Verb. 04 Grammar, Comparative and general--Aspect. 04 Grammar, Comparative and general--Syntax. 10 LAN009000 12 CFK 24 JB code LIN.SEMAN Semantics 24 JB code LIN.SYNTAX Syntax 24 JB code LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 01 06 02 00 This volume offers a variety of perspectives on two of the main topics situated at the crossroads between lexical semantics and syntax, namely: (a) aspect and its correspondence with syntactic structure; and (b) the delimitation of syntactic structures from verb classes. 03 00 This volume offers a variety of perspectives on two of the main topics situated at the crossroads between lexical semantics and syntax, namely: (a) aspect and its correspondence with syntactic structure; and (b) the delimitation of syntactic structures from verb classes. Almost from Aristotle’s Metaphysics, it has been assumed that verbs invoke a mental image about the way in which eventualities are distributed over time. When it comes to determining time schemata, the lexical class to which the verb belongs represents a first step. Speaking about verb classes does not exclusively mean a semantic similarity; rather, verb classes exhibit a bundle of common features and thus show a set of recursive behavior patterns. Beyond the meaning of the verb, both semantic and syntactic factors, together with pragmatic ones, play a decisive role when establishing the aspectual classification of an eventuality. The contributions collected in this book approach the aforementioned lines, either analyzing the relationships between aspect and syntactic structure or traversing the path from a verb class to its syntactic manifestation. Some of them stress diachronic filiations, while others include processes of word formation in the debate; some of them focus on certain classes, such as movement verbs or psychological verbs, while others examine specific constructions. A number of chapters also discuss relevant theoretical issues concerning the analysis of aspect. In sum, the kaleidoscopic view provided by this book allows the reader to delve deeper into one of the most controversial – as well as exciting – topics within current linguistics. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/ivitra.9.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027240156.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027240156.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/ivitra.9.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/ivitra.9.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/ivitra.9.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/ivitra.9.hb.png 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.001pre 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.001pre vii xvi 10 Miscellaneous 1 01 04 Preface Preface 1 A01 01 JB code 907249221 Elisa Barrajón López Barrajón López, Elisa Elisa Barrajón López University of Alicante 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/907249221 2 A01 01 JB code 225249222 José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia Cifuentes Honrubia, José Luis José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia University of Alicante 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/225249222 3 A01 01 JB code 472249223 Susana Rodríguez Rosique Rodríguez Rosique, Susana Susana Rodríguez Rosique University of Alicante 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/472249223 01 eng 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.002con 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.002con xvii xviii 2 Miscellaneous 2 01 04 List of contributors List of contributors 01 eng 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.01bar 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.01bar 1 20 20 Article 3 01 04 The conceptualization of change of state in verbs coming from gentilicios The conceptualization of change of state in verbs coming from gentilicios 1 A01 01 JB code 282249224 Elisa Barrajón López Barrajón López, Elisa Elisa Barrajón López 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/282249224 01 eng 30 00 This paper has as its aim to examine the way in which the meaning of the derivative base (regardless of its denominal or deadjectival nature, although it will be demonstrated here that it rather follows an adjectival behavior) influences the semantics of verbs coming from gentilicios (africanizar/se, gauchear, etc.) and, consequently, to identify the underlying argument structure in each case, as well as their main aspectual properties. The conceptual components involved in the process leading to the formation of these complex units can appear explicitly or amalgamate with the verb. According to the semantically conflated component, the argument scheme will be different: Hacer X a Y [To make Y become X], Hacerse X [To become X] or Comportarse X [To behave X]. Nevertheless, it is worth highlighting that the border between the last two schemes is not always clear. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.02bat 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.02bat 21 59 39 Article 4 01 04 Event structure and lexical semantics in a scalar approach to actionality Event structure and lexical semantics in a scalar approach to actionality 1 A01 01 JB code 94249225 Olga Bathiukova Bathiukova, Olga Olga Bathiukova 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/94249225 01 eng 30 00 This paper offers a scalar analysis of Russian verbal forms derived with the prefix pro-. The proposed approach is crucially based on two notions integrated into the Generative Lexicon framework: Dynamic Event Structure, a representation of the internal makeup of events in terms of subevents or phases which allows tracking the change of the arguments’ properties over time; and change function, which accounts for the different ways in which these properties may be affected (i.e., initiated, terminated, modified or left unchanged) in the course of the event. Special emphasis is placed on the role of scalar properties of the nominal arguments in the composition of change-of-state predicates. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.03ber 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.03ber 60 76 17 Article 5 01 04 Lexical synonymy and argumental structure Lexical synonymy and argumental structure 01 04 Similarities and divergences in the syntactic-semantic schemes of two cognitive Spanish verbs:recordar and acordar(se) Similarities and divergences in the syntactic-semantic schemes of two cognitive Spanish verbs:recordar and acordar(se) 1 A01 01 JB code 650249226 Celia Berná Sicilia Berná Sicilia, Celia Celia Berná Sicilia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/650249226 01 eng 30 00 Verbs that present synonymous relations usually articulate, due to their meaning identity, correlations of the syntactic-semantic order, and due to this, they constitute an interesting field of study for delimiting, with exactitude, where the specific character of each lexical unit resides. This work will try to delve into the similarities and divergences of two synonymous verbs, recordar and acordar(se). With this objective in mind, a comparative analysis on their peculiar syntactic-semantic behavior will be performed, using the information extracted from two databases (ADESSE and FramNet). The results point to the existence of zones of convergences, but also to specific features in their semotactic combination that helps with the configuration of their singular syntactic-semantic profile within the semantic class of cognition verbs. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.04bos 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.04bos 77 97 21 Article 6 01 04 Inner and outer prepositions with Spanish verbs of vertical movement Inner and outer prepositions with Spanish verbs of vertical movement 1 A01 01 JB code 442249227 Ignacio Bosque Muñoz Bosque Muñoz, Ignacio Ignacio Bosque Muñoz 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/442249227 01 eng 30 00 The lexical structure of Spanish displacement verbs is argued to be built up out of prepositions, whether covert or overt, subject to a number of incorporation processes. Some fine-grained semantic distinctions are introduced on the concepts of ‘goal’ and ‘path’. These and other conceptual components (specifically, direction and source) are shown to participate in various configurations involving conflation proceses at the lexical structure of verbs of vertical movement. A relationship is established between redundancy in transitive structures derived from unergative predicates and similarly redundant V-P structures with displacement verbs. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.05can 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.05can 98 109 12 Article 7 01 04 Argumental comitative and reciprocity in Spanish Argumental comitative and reciprocity in Spanish 1 A01 01 JB code 234249228 José Antonio Candalija Reina Candalija Reina, José Antonio José Antonio Candalija Reina 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/234249228 01 eng 30 00 This research paper deals with the reciprocity relationships in Spanish. It is our intention to establish the conditions needed in reciprocal constructions and their distinctive characteristics. One of these features is the presence of an argument characterized by being semantically obligatory and syntactically marked by the Spanish preposition con. This argument is referred to as ‘argumental comitative’ and is determined by a certain kind of symmetrical reciprocity, which is gradual and is related to the active role of the agent. This argument has to do with some types of alternations in Spanish verbs that present a syntactic constraint that is referred to as complemento de regimen preposicional in Spanish and is the syntactic function that represents the argumental comitative in these types of reciprocal constructions. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.06cif 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.06cif 110 130 21 Article 8 01 04 Causativity and psychological verbs in Spanish Causativity and psychological verbs in Spanish 1 A01 01 JB code 776249229 José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia Cifuentes Honrubia, José Luis José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/776249229 01 eng 30 00 This paper analyzes the transitive/intransitive alternation in class 2 psychological verbs of Belletti and Rizzi. The transitive variant implies an agentive subject and an aspectual change of state. The intransitive variant implies a cause and a locative state. Spanish class 2 psychological verbs are causative due to the cause component conflated in the verbal structure which gives rise to the verb: most of the psychological verbs with a transitive/intransitive alternation are denominal or deadjetival causative verbs from Romance origin. Some others come from a Latin denominal or deadjectival structure or from a causative meaning which comes as a result of an evolution in their meaning (usually agentive and local). Psychological verbs result from a conflation process by means of which the verb semantically incorporates the psychological element – as it results from a verbal lexicalization of the emotional or psychological noun or adjective, thus shaping a complex predicate. Psychological verbs are consequently complex predicates with a semantically incorporated psychological element. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.07dem 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.07dem 131 152 22 Article 9 01 04 Lexical agreement processes Lexical agreement processes 01 04 On the construction of verbal aspect On the construction of verbal aspect 1 A01 01 JB code 568249230 Elena De Miguel Aparicio De Miguel Aparicio, Elena Elena De Miguel Aparicio 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/568249230 01 eng 30 00 This paper examines the construction of verbal aspect as a sub-case of generation of verbal lexical meaning. The analysis is based on Pustejovsky’s (1995) Generative Lexicon and assumes the existence of a set of lexical agreement processes that match the lexical features of arguments (and adjuncts) with the information contained in the meta-entry of the verb in the mental lexicon. Verbal meta-entries include distinct sub-structures, among them the Event Structure, which is composed of different phases or sub-events. The materialization of some subevents or others depends on the agreement processes triggered by the arguments and adjuncts and gives rise to different aspectual meanings for the same verb. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.08del 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.08del 153 184 32 Article 10 01 04 Variable aspectual coercion in Spanish fictive motion expressions Variable aspectual coercion in Spanish fictive motion expressions 1 A01 01 JB code 311249231 Nicole Delbecque Delbecque, Nicole Nicole Delbecque 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/311249231 01 eng 30 00 Fictive motion expressions blur the distinction between stativity and dynamicity. The paper presents a corpus-based exploration of the variable ways in which structural and procedural knowledge merge in Spanish fictive motion expressions with oriented-motion verbs and manner-of-motion verbs. The metaphorical projection from motion to stativity does not necessarily conform to the aspectual restrictions associated with state descriptions. In addition to the verb’s semantics and the profile of the depicted entity, the degree of dynamicity of the blend is further determined by a range of lexical and grammatical choices. Among them figure the kind of spatial coordinates, grammatical aspect, quantifying and temporal adverbial modifiers, as well as viewing perspective. Per parameter, some factors reinforce the bias towards dynamism, whereas others downgrade it. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.09dem 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.09dem 185 217 33 Article 11 01 04 Agent control over non culminating events Agent control over non culminating events 1 A01 01 JB code 84249232 Hamida Demirdache Demirdache, Hamida Hamida Demirdache University of Nantes 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/84249232 2 A01 01 JB code 146249233 Fabienne Martin Martin, Fabienne Fabienne Martin University of Stuttgart 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/146249233 01 eng 30 00 This paper investigates a correlation between the availability of non-culminating construals for accomplishments and the control of the agent over the described event (the Agent Control Hypothesis, ach). We consider two versions of the ach, on the basis of a new typology of non-culminating construals. On the strong version, non-culmination requires agent control whether what is being denied is the occurrence of any change of state of the type φ encoded by the verb, or merely that the change of state satisfies the property φ to degree 1. On its weak version, agent control is required in the former case only. The evidence reviewed from Romance, Germanic, Salish, and Mandarin, suggests that the weak version of the ach might indeed hold. The weak version of the ach seems, however, to be too weak for Salish languages. The final section shows how the existing analyses of non-culminating construals could capture the link between non-culmination and agentivity. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.10fer 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.10fer 218 237 20 Article 12 01 04 The pseudo-copulative verbs verse and sentirse The pseudo-copulative verbs verse and sentirse 01 04 diachronic and conceptual aspects diachronic and conceptual aspects 1 A01 01 JB code 824249234 Jorge Fernández Jaén Fernández Jaén, Jorge Jorge Fernández Jaén 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/824249234 01 eng 30 00 This paper has as its purpose to present a diachronic analysis of the pseudo-copulative verbs verse and sentirse carried out from the theoretical postulates of cognitive semantics and the grammaticalization theory. It will be proved that these two pseudo-copulas in Spanish have been formed within a historical process determined by the conceptual properties of the transitive verbs ver [see] and sentir [feel], additionally highlighting the main functional differences between verse and sentirse and their specific semantic nuances. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.11fer 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.11fer 238 263 26 Article 13 01 04 On events that express properties On events that express properties 1 A01 01 JB code 623249235 María Jesús Fernández Leborans Fernández Leborans, María Jesús María Jesús Fernández Leborans Complutense University of Madrid 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/623249235 2 A01 01 JB code 679249236 Cristina Sánchez López Sánchez López, Cristina Cristina Sánchez López Complutense University of Madrid 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/679249236 01 eng 30 00 This paper provides empirical support to the hypothesis that habitual readings and dispositional/capacitative readings are different kinds of generic statements, generated by different operators: an aspectual operator HABASP is responsible for the habitual reading and a like modal dispositional operator MODDISP is responsible for the dispositional reading. We analyze the Spanish construction <ser muy de + infinitive>, ex. María es muy de fumar puros (lit. [María is very of smoking cigars]). This construction put together the meaning of a habitual sentence like María often smokes cigars, realized in the infinitive clause, and the meaning of an Individual Level predicate like María is a cigar smoker, realized in a predicative prepositional phrase muy de. Our analysis explains both the properties of the construction as an IL-predicate that contain an infinitive clause with habitual reading and the restrictions about the predicates that can enter the construction. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.12gar 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.12gar 264 287 24 Article 14 01 04 Some reflections on verbs with clitic increase Some reflections on verbs with clitic increase 01 04 Verbs of motion Verbs of motion 1 A01 01 JB code 584249237 Luis García Fernández García Fernández, Luis Luis García Fernández 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/584249237 01 eng 30 00 In this paper we will address the different values of se, one of the classic problems in Spanish grammar. Specifically, we will talk about the clitic which in the usual descriptions has no argumental value and is non-referential: the clitic sometimes called the reflexive-intensive and more recently the aspectual. We will also examine the clitic which appears with a number of verbs of motion and has also been termed aspectual. As we are dealing with a paradigmatic use of se, we will use the term “clitic increase” in order not to give the impression that we are dealing with a specific problem of the form se. This study is set out as follows: in Section 1 we introduce the two structures to be analysed. The first, is the use with transitive verbs, what we might call prototypical (comerse la paella ([to eat up the paella]) and the second deals with intransitive verbs. In Section 2, verbs of motion with clitic increase are analysed, the more relevant grammatical properties are described and a constant meaning is assigned to the appearance of the clitic. This leads us to a proposal for syntactic analysis in which the clitic is the head of the VoiceP. Then, in Section 3, we review the main properties of the first structure type and we show that our analysis also takes these into consideration. In 4, we consider the question of whether the differences introduced by the appearance of the clitic should be explained by lexicon or grammar. We end with conclusions and bibliography. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.13gar 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.13gar 288 311 24 Article 15 01 04 Transitivity and verb classes Transitivity and verb classes 1 A01 01 JB code 254249238 José María García-Miguel García-Miguel, José María José María García-Miguel 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/254249238 01 eng 30 00 The received concept of transitivity includes several semantic properties based on the idea that transitive clauses express an action performed by an agent on a patient, and suggest that transitive syntactic structures typically refer to concrete actions. Arguably, a semantic characterization of syntactic transitivity requires independent definitions of semantic and syntactic transitivity and needs more empirical support. This paper is an initial quantitative exploration of semantic verb types and transitive syntactic structures in a Spanish corpus-based syntactic-semantic database (ADESSE) and in a typological valency patterns database (ValPaL), and it somewhat calls into question the hypothesis that transitive syntactic structures are more strongly associated with verbs expressing concrete actions performed by an agent than with verbs expressing certain kinds of mental states. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.14kai 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.14kai 312 333 22 Article 16 01 04 Romance object-experiencer verbs Romance object-experiencer verbs 01 04 From aktionsart to activity hierarchy From aktionsart to activity hierarchy 1 A01 01 JB code 966249239 Rolf Kailuweit Kailuweit, Rolf Rolf Kailuweit 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/966249239 01 eng 30 00 The present paper deals with Romance Objective-Experiencer verbs (OE-verbs). I will show that the different subclasses fit into a continuum between a causative and an unaccusative pole. In order to describe their varying syntactic behaviour, a finer-grained analysis of the subevents they denote will elucidate that a traditional approach following the Vendler-Dowty classes of aktionsart will reach its limit when it comes to OE-verbs. My claim is that case assignment to the experiencer does not straightforwardly follow from the aktionsart class, but from the activity contrast between the two arguments of the verb. The presence or absence of causativity explains the differentiation between two types of ­experiencer: (a) a more passive causatively affected experiencer and (b) a less passive experiencer undergoing a change of state in a particular situation without being affected by an external causer. In addition, we find a third type of OE-verb: prototypically unaccustative (ergative) verbs, such as verbs of liking, which select a more active experiencer expressing a subjective judgement. These three types constitute prototypical categories with fuzzy edges. Romance languages differ in the way they code the three types at the lexical level and at the level of the constructional inventory. The results can be formalized following the activity hierarchy approach (Kailuweit 2013). 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.15lav 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.15lav 334 356 23 Article 17 01 04 Aspectual approach to causative-resultative denominal verbs Aspectual approach to causative-resultative denominal verbs 1 A01 01 JB code 758249240 Ruth María Lavale-Ortiz Lavale-Ortiz, Ruth María Ruth María Lavale-Ortiz 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/758249240 01 eng 30 00 This paper has as its aim to verify the hypothesis according to which a verbal semantic class might correspond to a homogeneous aspectual characterization, since it could be thought that all the lexical items which share semantic features within the same class should be given the same aspectual definition. With that aim in mind, and after considering the whole set of causative denominal verbs in Spanish, our choice was to focus on the subset of causative-resultative denominal verbs where in turn it is possible to distinguish two semantic subtypes. Working on the basis of a corpus and the application of grammatical tests, the present study proves that the aspectual characterization of these verbs is not homogeneous; instead, a certain degree of variation exists within the semantic category. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.16mer 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.16mer 357 377 21 Article 18 01 04 Denominal parasynthesis and inchoativity from both lexical-semantic and aspectual points of view Denominal parasynthesis and inchoativity from both lexical-semantic and aspectual points of view 1 A01 01 JB code 398249241 Nuria Merchán Aravid Merchán Aravid, Nuria Nuria Merchán Aravid 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/398249241 01 eng 30 00 The present paper deals with a specific verb class: parasynthetic denominal verbs with an inchoative meaning. Analyzing them requires connecting two notions that belong to different linguistic analysis levels: the morphological mechanism of denominal parasynthesis – a particular word formation process starting from a noun – and the semantic notion of inchoativity – which expresses a change of state in the notional subject. This relation is especially productive with affixes such as a- and em-/en-, and with the verbal endings -ar, -ecer and -ear. The aim of this survey is twofold: on the one hand, to show how the study of the conceptualization base in the resulting structure makes it possible to establish different groups of denominal parasynthetic verbs; and, on the other hand, to determine the aspectual characteristics of inchoative denominal parasynthetic verbs so as to try to identify the aspectual class to which they could belong. The outcome is a proposal of characterization and classification that fills the gap concerning inchoative parasynthetic denominal verbs, since they have not been systematically analyzed in Spanish grammars so far. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.17pro 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.17pro 378 411 34 Article 19 01 04 Diachronic prototypicity and stativity in Spanish physical affection verbs Diachronic prototypicity and stativity in Spanish physical affection verbs 1 A01 01 JB code 206249242 Herminia Provencio Garrigós Provencio Garrigós, Herminia Herminia Provencio Garrigós 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/206249242 01 eng 30 00 This paper shows a diachronic research about the aspectual nature of the verbs doler [to hurt], picar [to itch], arder [to burn], escocer [to sting] and hormiguear [to tingle]. Special attention is paid to physical affection meanings (to suffer or experience pain, itch, burning, stinging and tingling in some part of the body), which basically denote a stative aspectual value. The priority aim of this research is to prove that, throughout the diachrony of the Spanish language, these verbs have traveled between staticity and dynamism, which permits to establish a prototypicity scale within the class of transitory, uncontrolled states where these verbs belong. The existing theoretical proposals about state predicates are considered, and a diachronic-corpus-based is utilized in order to achieve this aim. Our findings suggest that the aspectual continuum results from the combination of three elements: the lexico-semantic characteristics of the verb; the syntactic contexts where it is inserted; and the pragmatic conditions perceived by the person who experiences the affection denoted by the predicate. This union is projected in the different ways to conceptualize transitory, uncontrolled states, and it highlights that, despite being the prototypical physical affection state verb in Spain, doler [to hurt] is the one which presents a higher degree of dynamism because it appears in a greater number of dynamic contexts. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.18rod 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.18rod 412 437 26 Article 20 01 04 Negative imperatives with Spanish copulas ser y estar Negative imperatives with Spanish copulas ser y estar 1 A01 01 JB code 790249243 Susana Rodríguez Rosique Rodríguez Rosique, Susana Susana Rodríguez Rosique 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/790249243 01 eng 30 00 This chapter analyzes a number of predicates with Spanish ser and estar which may occur in the imperative: behavior predicates, controlled states, and emotional predicates. The imperative mood is usually related to action and, therefore, it would seem somewhat strange to think of constructions where this mood could combine with prototypical copular verbs such as ser and estar, initially conceived as stative. More precisely, this paper focuses on the negative imperative, which is expressed in Spanish through the adverb no + the subjunctive mood when appearing in specific discourse situations. Both the occurrence of negation and that of the subjunctive lead to take into account the information structure, which in fact reveals decisive data about the nature and behavior of these predicates. In this respect, the imperative serves as a source of evidence when it comes to proving heterogeneity within the ‘states’ class as well as to exploring its boundaries. 01 01 JB code ivitra.9.19ind 06 10.1075/ivitra.9.19ind 439 446 8 Miscellaneous 21 01 04 Index Index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/ivitra.9 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 20151125 C 2015 John Benjamins D 2015 John Benjamins 02 WORLD WORLD US CA MX 09 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 21 5 16 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 99.00 EUR 02 00 Unqualified price 02 83.00 01 Z 0 GBP GB US CA MX 01 01 JB 2 John Benjamins Publishing Company +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 21 5 16 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 149.00 USD 826016735 03 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code IVITRA 9 GE 15 9789027267856 06 10.1075/ivitra.9 13 2015032521 00 EA E133 10 01 JB code IVITRA 02 JB code 2211-5412 02 9.00 01 02 IVITRA Research in Linguistics and Literature IVITRA Research in Linguistics and Literature 01 01 Verb Classes and Aspect Verb Classes and Aspect 1 B01 01 JB code 151240093 Elisa Barrajón López Barrajón López, Elisa Elisa Barrajón López University of Alicante 2 B01 01 JB code 82240094 José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia Cifuentes Honrubia, José Luis José Luis Cifuentes Honrubia University of Alicante 3 B01 01 JB code 325240095 Susana Rodríguez Rosique Rodríguez Rosique, Susana Susana Rodríguez Rosique University of Alicante 01 eng 11 460 03 03 xviii 03 00 446 03 24 JB code LIN.SEMAN Semantics 24 JB code LIN.SYNTAX Syntax 24 JB code LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 10 LAN009000 12 CFK 01 06 02 00 This volume offers a variety of perspectives on two of the main topics situated at the crossroads between lexical semantics and syntax, namely: (a) aspect and its correspondence with syntactic structure; and (b) the delimitation of syntactic structures from verb classes. 03 00 This volume offers a variety of perspectives on two of the main topics situated at the crossroads between lexical semantics and syntax, namely: (a) aspect and its correspondence with syntactic structure; and (b) the delimitation of syntactic structures from verb classes. Almost from Aristotle’s Metaphysics, it has been assumed that verbs invoke a mental image about the way in which eventualities are distributed over time. When it comes to determining time schemata, the lexical class to which the verb belongs represents a first step. Speaking about verb classes does not exclusively mean a semantic similarity; rather, verb classes exhibit a bundle of common features and thus show a set of recursive behavior patterns. Beyond the meaning of the verb, both semantic and syntactic factors, together with pragmatic ones, play a decisive role when establishing the aspectual classification of an eventuality. The contributions collected in this book approach the aforementioned lines, either analyzing the relationships between aspect and syntactic structure or traversing the path from a verb class to its syntactic manifestation. Some of them stress diachronic filiations, while others include processes of word formation in the debate; some of them focus on certain classes, such as movement verbs or psychological verbs, while others examine specific constructions. A number of chapters also discuss relevant theoretical issues concerning the analysis of aspect. In sum, the kaleidoscopic view provided by this book allows the reader to delve deeper into one of the most controversial – as well as exciting – topics within current linguistics. 01 00 03 01 01 D503
