Confronting alternative semantic accounts with experimental evidence, the author develops a comprehensive model of online aspectual interpretation. The first part of the book critically reviews competing theoretical accounts of aspectual coercion. As an analytical tool the author introduces a computational model based on the event calculus by Hamm & van Lambalgen (2005) which makes use of planning formalisms from artificial intelligence. Detailed predictions from this framework are then tested in the experimental work reported in the second part. The focus here is on such questions as: Is aspectual coercion a uniform phenomenon or must we distinguish different types? Is aspect processed incrementally or is it computed only at the clause boundary? And finally, what insights can event related potentials yield about how the brain resolves local aspectual mismatch?. 410 0$aLinguistik aktuell ;$vBd. 162. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAspect 606 $aPsycholinguistics 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAspect. 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 676 $a410.1/9 700 $aBott$b Oliver$f1973-$01800974 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955137303321 996 $aThe processing of events$94345984 997 $aUNINA
