TY - CHAP U1 - Buchbeitrag A1 - Brandt, Patrick ED - Maier, Emar ED - Bary, Corien ED - Huitink, Janneke T1 - On the common format of eventives and too-comparatives T2 - Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung 9 N2 - Should events be conceived of as primitive or should they be decomposed into more basic elements with certain syntax? This talk presents new evidence for the latter view: If events are represented as contradictory propositional meanings representing their pre- and post states, a uniform analysis of certain eventive and certain too- comparative constructions is possible; this is wanted given striking parallels between the two types of structure. The analysis goes some way, among other, toward explaining ‘repetetive/restitutive’ asymmetries familiar from eventive constructions (von Stechow 1996) but similarly arising in too- comparative constructions.
