Annotation
The author argues that aspectual roles, derived from the internal contours of the denoted event, determine the syntactic behavior of verbs and their arguments. Syntactic mapping is said to follow universal principles, but the info to map arguments from the lexicon to the syntax is considered as purely aspectual.
