The Syntax of Event Structure*

Abstract

Abstract Recent work in linguistic theory has stressed the important role that structured lexical representations can play in natural language, for example, the emergence of argument structure as a distinct level of representation (Grimshaw, 1990; Williams, 1981) and the importance of semantic representations such as f-structure (Bresnan, 1982) and lexical conceptual structure (LCS) (Jackendoff, 1983; Rappaport & Levin, 1988). Similarly, we will explore what advantages there are in positing a separate level indicating the event structures associated with predicates and their arguments.
