"This is the most important book on lexical aspect since DavidDowty's seminal Word Meaning and Montague Grammar."Angelika Kratzer, University of Massachusetts-Amherst "As well as providing a clear introduction to the subject, thisexcellent book extends our knowledge of the lexical aspectualproperties of verbs and verb phrases in new and originaldirections. Rothstein's careful exploitation of the flexibility ofevent-based semantics in providing a solid foundation for theinterpretation of verbal aspect establishes the theory as centralto any explanation of this often difficult - but everfascinating - topic." Ronnie Cann, University ofEdinburgh "This outstanding book represents a new breakthrough in thegeneral theory of lexical aspect. The discussions of the previousresearch are distinguished by clarity as well as new challenges andinsights. In a highly engaging way Rothstein also advances newsolutions to some of the most thorny issues - includingaspectual shifts, progressive achievements, and resultativepredication - which will shape the future research in lexicalaspect." Hana Filip, Stanford University "Rothstein's book contains many observations, deepintuitions and exciting analyses which will doubtless be veryinfluential in a variety of areas. Empirically, the book contains atreasure trove of interesting data that will no doubt be mulledover for years to come." LinguaMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
