<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>
