Abstract:

Structuring Events presents a novel semantic theory of lexical aspect
for anyone interested in the study of verb meanings.

Provides an introduction to aspectual classes and aspectual

theory of lexical aspect and compare it with alternative theories.
Useful for students and scholars in semantics and syntax as well as
the neighboring fields of pragmatics and philosophy of language.
