| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project is to explore the integration of lexical information with event structures on the basis of lexical semantic models and studies on grammatical constructions. There are three major issues to be dealt with in this project: (1) Promotion of studies on the lexicon within the framework of the Generative Lexicon Theory, where we aim to solve the problem of how qualia (lexical-semantic information) come to determine the interpretation of event structures, (2) Elucidation of the subjectivity in language; how subjectivity is related with the interpretation of event structures (of psychological predicates), and (3) New perspectives on lexicalization/grammaticalization with respect to the integration of lexcal information with event structures. We aim to show that some typological universals underlie the process of grammaticalization in which lexical information is integrated with event structures.
