Speaking of Events cover

In recent years the idea that an adequate semantics of ordinary language calls for some theory of events has sparked considerable debate among linguists and philosophers. Speaking of Events offers a vivid and up-to-date indication of this debate, with emphasis precisely on the interplay between linguistic applications and philosophical implications. Each chapter has been written expressly for this volume by leading authors in the field, including Nicholas Asher, Pier Marco Bertinetto, Johannes Brandl, Denis Delfitto, Regine Eckardt, James Higginbotham, Alessandro Lenci, Terence Parsons, Alice ter Meulen, and Henk Verkuyl.

Speaking of Events is one of the finest books ever written in the area of linguistics * Linguistics *
This is a most instructive book ... worth reading. It addresses many interesting problems and the solutions are generally impressive. For those who are intellectually curious, this is very good nourishment for the mind! * Linguistics *
