Events and Semantic Architecture
Paul M. Pietroski
Oxford University Press, USA
In this study of how syntax relates to meaning, Paul Pietroski defends the hyposthesis that combining expressions corresponds to predicate-conjunction and not function-application. Chapters cover a range of constructions involving causative and serial verbs, plural noun-phrases, and complementizer phrases.  The book represents a lucid contribution to the field by a leader of the new generation of philosopher-linguists.
