Abstract

This contribution considers some consequences of the assumption that verbs are endowed with an event and a time argument and that temporal adverbs are crucially related with the realisation of these two arguments. The view developed here represents an extension of the hypothesis that verbal predicates are associated with an event argument and that this event argument plays a crucial role in establishing the semantics of theta-role assignment
