Argument and Event Structure in Yukatek Verb Classes
(GLSA, 2001)
In Yukatek Maya, event types are lexicalized in verb roots and stems that fall into a number of different form classes on the basis of (a) patterns of aspect-mood marking and (b) privileges of undergoing valence-changing ...
Morpholexical transparency and the argument structure of verbs of cutting and breaking
(De Gruyter, 2007)
Guerssel et al.’s 1985 generalizations regarding the argument structure of verbs of

Invariance in argument realization: The case of Iroquoian
(Linguistic Society of America, 2015)
The relevance of the concepts of local syntactic selection and constraints on locally selected dependents
in modeling how arguments are syntactically realized has been virtually unchallenged
and is assumed to be universal. ...
From frame semantics to constructional syntax: the case of scalar predicates
(Cornell University, 1992)

Oneida (Iroquoian) kinship terms have both nominal and verbal properties, and the

expressed. However, the linking of the ...
The unique vector constraint: The impact of direction changes on the linguistic segmentation of motion events.
(Oxford University Press, 2003)
This paper draws on ongoing research of the Event Representation group within the Argument Structure project
at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen. The Event Representation group is dedicated ...
