Events and Plurality

Edición de la obra Events and plurality

"The main claim of this book is that the very same distinction between semantic singularity and plurality that is fundamental to the semantics of nouns in the nominal domain is operative and fundamental in the verbal domain as well, applying to verbs and verbal argument roles." "It is argued that collective interpretations of verbal arguments involve semantically singular argument roles, and that a large variety of other interpretations discussed in the literature - most importantly distributive and cumulative interpretations - can be reduced to semantic plurality." "It will also be of interest to researchers in philosophy of language, logic, cognitive science, and to computer scientists with an interest in the semantics of natural language."--BOOK JACKET.
