Subject(s): LOC classification:
  • DUCE P158 .R36
Online resources: Summary: This abstract explores verb meaning within the lexicon, examining how semantic structure, argument realization, and contextual variation shape verbal interpretation. It highlights the interaction between lexical representations and syntactic patterns, arguing that verb meaning is not fixed but dynamically constrained by event structure and usage. The discussion integrates insights from lexical semantics and cognitive linguistics to show how the lexicon encodes core verb meanings while allowing flexibility across constructions and contexts. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/68
