I will argue in this paper that the standard notions of a f f e c t e d n e s s , change-of-state and result state are too coarse-grained, and will revise and enrich substantially their content, increasing their role in a compositional aspect construal procedure. I will claim in particular that a proper theory of event structure requires that enriched result states should be lexically represented, and will base on them a computational treatment of event structure within a feature-structure-based lexicon. . | Proceedings of EACL 99 Result Stages and the Lexicon The Proper Treatment of Event Structure Patrick Caudal TALANA UFR de Linguistique Université Paris 7 2 place Jussieu 75251 Paris Cedex 05 FRANCE caudal@ Abstract I will argue in this paper that the standard notions of affectedness change-of-state and result state are too coarse-grained and will revise and enrich substantially their content increasing their role in a compositional aspect construal procedure. I will claim in particular that a proper theory of event structure requires that enriched result states should be lexically represented and will base on them a computational treatment of event structure within a feature-structure-based lexicon. Introduction Event structure is traditionally accounted for using two sets of notions change-of-state affectedness and incrementality. I will examine both in this paper determining their respective limitations before proposing an alternative approach and the formal specifications for a computational implementation. 1 From affectedness to result states how can we account for event structure Affectedness change-of-state and telicity Telic events are generally viewed as an opposition between a previously holding state and a new one called a result state . deadly for X kills y . They trigger a change-of-state CoS henceforth result states RSs henceforth being entailments of CoSs. Moens and Steedman 1988 Smith 1991 Pustejovsky 1995 and others argue that it is a defining property of telic events. They should therefore include an undergoer argument whose CoS determines the telicity of the event . it acts as a measuring-out argument . Tenny 1987 thus claims that telic events require such an argument which she calls an affected argument. Consider for instance John reviewed the paper as the event reaches its culimation the affected argument undergoes a CoS from ireviewedlpaper to reviewedlpaper producing a RS. To put it short the standard theory of .
