"The representation of events is a central topic for cognitive science. In this series of lectures, Jeffrey M. Zacks situates event representations and their role in language within a theory of perception and memory. Event representations have a distinctive structure and format that result from computational and neural mechanisms operating during perception and language comprehension. A crucial aspect of the mechanisms is that event representations are updated to optimize their predictive utility. This updating has consequences for action control and for long-term memory. Event cognition changes across the adult lifespan and can be impaired by conditions including Alzheimer's disease. These mechanisms have broad impact on everyday activity, and have shaped the development of media such as cinema and narrative fiction"--

In this series of lectures, Jeffrey M. Zacks offers an account of event representations in language, perception and memory, and applies it to comprehension, memory retrieval, aging and Alzheimer’s disease, and the development of media.

"The book, and its associated online material, are a good introduction for all students and scholars specialising in linguistics and interested in understanding the interface between linguistic and cognitive representations. Although the format of the book a collection of lectures may sometimes give rise to a certain incongruence, this volume is surprisingly wellstructured, as the author progresses through the lectures in explaining the theory in a coherent way. [ ...]

[ S]everal questions are still pending: how many thematic roles do we need, and how should each role be characterised? Other studies grounded in cognitive psychology may help answer these questions [ ]. The work resumed by Zack in this volume, however, has the merit of showing the relevance of such a question for embedding cognition into grammar." - Marta Donazzan, Laboratoire de Linguistique de Nantes, in: Linguist List, January 8th, 2021
