Detail Quantizing scalar change   Oleh:  Henderson, Robert Jenis: Article from Proceeding Dalam koleksi: Proceedings of the 23rd Semantics and Linguistic Theory Conference, held at the University of California, Santa Cruz, May 3 - 5, 2013, page 473–492. Topik: scalar change; pluractional adverbials Fulltext: 3683-7405-1-PB.pdf (169.89KB) Isi artikel This paper provides a new analysis of N-BY-N adverbials that captures their previously unrecognized close connection to verbs of scalar change. After providing a series of arguments that N-BY-N modi?cation requires the VP to provide a scalar interval it can measure, we use this as novel evidence that incremental theme verbs, as well as inherently directed motion and change of state verbs, must make reference to scales. The analysis thus supports a uni?ed scalar account of verbs of variable telicity (e.g.,Hay, Kennedy & Levin 1999; Kennedy & Levin 2008; Kennedy 2012), Finally, we show that our analysis avoids empirical problems for previous approaches to these adverbials in both English (Beck & von Stechow 2007;Brasovenau & Handerson 2009) and Russian (Braginsky & Rothstein 2008).
