| Popis: | The aim of this paper is to investigate the enterprise of exploiting lexical semantic knowledge for discourse purposes. In the first part of the paper, I demonstrate that event-based approaches are unable to explain the ambiguous behavior of light verb have with a verbal complement. Asher and Lascarides (2003) present a promising account of lexicalized causation that shows the dependence of verbs on the discourse context. In the second part of the paper, I use the main tools of Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (henceforth SDRT) to deal with the phenomena, improve SDRT’s strategy to deal with lexical knowledge and avoid the previous pitfalls of the usual event-based theories.
