Event Structure Representation: Between Verbs and Argument Structure Constructions
Pavlina Kalm, Michael Regan, William Croft · 2019
This paper proposes a novel representation of event structure by separating verbal semantics and the meaning of argument structure constructions that verbs occur in.Our model demonstrates how the two meaning representations interact.Our model thus effectively deals with various verb construals in different argument structure constructions, unlike purely verb-based approaches.However, unlike many constructionally-based approaches, we also provide a richer representation of the event structure evoked by the verb meaning.
