  abstract = {<p>This paper addresses the question ofwhattypes ofevents canbe construed</p><p>together to form a single semantic predication.1. By a {\textquotedblleft}single semantic</p><p>predication,{\textquotedblright} I intend a unitary grammatical expression ofan action,state</p><p>or combination thereof applied to a single argument. Three different cases</p><p>are discussed: subevents evoked by{\textquoteright}a single verb, events evoked by the</p><p>combination of a verb{\textquoteright}s lexical semantics and the semantics ofa clause-level _</p><p>construction, and finally, the events designated by conjuncts in principled.</p><p>violations of the coordinate structure constraint. It isargued that eachof.</p><p>these three types of predications showsastrikingly similar set ofpossible |</p><p>relations and thus leads us toward a general theory ofcognitively plausible</p><p>predication structures.</p>},
