In the realm of verbal categories, situational arguments are long-established components of lexical semantic representation. The essays in this volume use a broad range of materials to discuss the extent to which it is also possible to justify the notion of situational arguments in the realm of nominal categories. A focus is placed on deverbal nouns and participles in adjective-type distributions.

Klappentext

Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten [Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies from all the central areas of general linguistics and the linguistics of individual languages which address topical questions, discuss new data and advance the development of linguistic theory.
