Les limites de la comparaison entre les parties spatiales et les parties temporelles
The part-whole relationship, also known as meronymy, may stand between an event and its stages. We analyze the asymmetries between parts that involve wholes temporal domains, and prototypical spatial parts. We show that concrete entities may only contain spatial parts, whereas event nouns allow a sp...

| Izvleček: | The part-whole relationship, also known as meronymy, may stand between an event and its stages. We analyze the asymmetries between parts that involve wholes temporal domains, and prototypical spatial parts. We show that concrete entities may only contain spatial parts, whereas event nouns allow a speaker to point out both spatial and temporal parts. Furthermore, events appear to be always perceived as oriented entities, which implies a lexical distinction beginning / end. Finally, unlike temporal parts, spatial parts may be located within their wholes. |
