Verbs play an important role in how events, states and other
"happenings" are mentally represented and how they are expressed in
natural language. Besides their central role in linguistics, verbs
have long been prominent topics of research in analytic
philosophy-mostly on the nature of events and predicate-argument
structure-and a topic of empirical investigation in
psycholinguistics, mostly on argument structure and its role in
sentence comprehension. More recently, the representation of verb
meaning has been gaining momentum as a topic of research in other
cognitive science branches, notably neuroscience and the psychology
of concepts. The present volume is an expression of this recent
surge in the investigation of verb structure and meaning from the
interdisciplinary perspective of cognitive science, with up-to-date
contributions by theoretical linguists, philosophers,
psycholinguists and neuroscientists. The volume presents new
theoretical and empirical studies on how verb structure and verb
meaning are represented, how they are processed during language
comprehension, how they are acquired, and how they are
neurologically implemented. Cognitive Science Perspectives on Verb
Representation and Processing is a reflection of the recent
collaboration between the disciplines that constitute cognitive
science, bringing new empirical data and theoretical insights on a
key element of natural language and conceptualization.
