| description | This paper reports on an empirical study of the interaction
of the semantic notion of “manner” with the category of “lexical aspect”
(or Aktionsart). Based on a sample of 4,000 sentences excerpted from
Le Clézio’s novel Étoile errante, a detailed analysis of the combinatorics
of verbal predicates and manner adjuncts has been carried out in
order to verify whether and to what extent the four Vendlerian
classes (States, Activities, Accomplishments and Achievements) are
compatible with a syntagmatic specification of manner. The results
are in line with Moline’s (2010) findings: all four types of situations
are suited to modification by manner. While predicates describing
Activities are the best candidates for modification by manner adjuncts,
Achievements come second. This finding, which cannot be predicted from the literature, is the subject of a special development aimed at uncovering the nature of the qualitative specifications that these dynamic but fundamentally punctual situations can concede. |
