"Adverbs, Events, and Other Things" treats issues in the semantics
of manner adverbs. Part I takes up the Davidsonian claim that
manner adverbs are predicates of events. The book investigates the
subtle interplay of event individuation and various kinds of event
modification and claims that manner adverbs play a core role in
singling out both simple and complex events. Part II of the book is
devoted to word order phenomena involving manner adverbs in German.
Presenting a general theory of predication structure for German
sentences, the author shows how the position of manner adverbs - in
interplay with other factors - determines the division of an
utterance into topic and comment. She thereby gives semantic
evidence in favour of the claim that manner adverbs in German have
a syntactic base position.
