It tests theories of linguistic form and meaning, arguments and thematic roles, using Estonian data. The analyses help to understand the aspectual structure of Estonian. In Estonian, transitive verbs fall into aspectual classes based on the type of case-marking of objects and adjuncts. The book relates the morphosyntactic frames of verbs to properties typically associated with adjectives and nouns: scalarity and boundedness. Verbs are divided according to how their aspect is composed. Some verbs lexicalize a scale, which can be bounded either lexically or compositionally. Aspectual composition involves the unification of features. Compositionally derived structures differ according to which of the aspectually relevant dimensions are bounded. 2022-05-31T10:20:31Z 2022-05-31T10:20:31Z 2012 book ONIX_20220531_9788866550556_352 2420-8361 9788866550556 9788892736269 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/55068 eng Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna application/pdf n/a 9788866550556.pdf https://books.fupress.com/isbn/9788866550556 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-6655-055-6 10.36253/978-88-6655-055-6 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788866550556 9788892736269 14 249 Firenze open access |

This monograph discusses scalar verb classes. It tests theories of linguistic form and meaning, arguments and thematic roles, using Estonian data. The analyses help to understand the aspectual structure of Estonian. In Estonian, transitive verbs fall into aspectual classes based on the type of case-marking of objects and adjuncts. The book relates the morphosyntactic frames of verbs to properties typically associated with adjectives and nouns: scalarity and boundedness. Verbs are divided according to how their aspect is composed. Some verbs lexicalize a scale, which can be bounded either lexically or compositionally. Aspectual composition involves the unification of features. Compositionally derived structures differ according to which of the aspectually relevant dimensions are bounded. |
