This workshop is devoted to the lexical semantics of adjectives and adverbs, particularly adverbs of manner and degree. It will be structured in four thematic sessions, each of which consists of two talks and an extended commentary. The topics of the sessions are:
  - Issues at the syntax-semantics interface
- Gradability
- Adjectives, adverbs and event structure
- Adjectives, adverbs and presupposition

The goal is to bring together recent research in these domains in an effort to establish points of connection


- between the semantics of adjectives and adverbs in general
- between the syntactic distribution of adjectives/adverbs on the one hand and their semantics/pragmatics on the other
- between the event structures associated with adjectives/adverbs and their gradability characteristics, and
- between the lexical semantics of adjectives/adverbs and their behavior in discourse

This Workshop has been made possible with financial support from Universitat Pompeu Fabra; the Departament d'Universitats, Recerca i Societat d'Informació of the Generalitat de Catalunya; and the Spanish Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia.
