Lecture 10 - Ten Lectures on Event Structure in a Network Theory of Language Nikolas Gisborne 10.6084/m9.figshare.9821210.v1 https://brill.figshare.com/articles/media/Lecture_10_-_Ten_Lectures_on_Event_Structure_in_a_Network_Theory_of_Language/9821210 <p>In <i>Ten Lectures on Event Structure in a Network Theory of Language, </i>Nikolas Gisborne explores verb meaning. He discusses theories of events and how a network model of language-in-the-mind should be theorized; what the lexicon is; how to probe word meaning; evidence for structure in word meaning; polysemy; the lexical semantics of causation; a type hierarchy of events; and event types cross-linguistically. He also looks at the relationship between different classes of events or event types and aktionsarten; transitivity alternations and argument linking. Gisborne argues that the social and cognitive embedding of language, requires a view of linguistic structure as a network where even the analysis of verb meaning can require an understanding of the role of speaker and hearer.</p> 2019-09-13 07:18:04 network event cognitive linguistics Linguistics
