Semantic Analysis From a Pragmatic Perspective of the Constructions of the Change of State Pseudocopulative Verb in Techno-Scientific Digital Media

In this paper we delve into the nuanced realm of ambiguous expressions within the pseudocopulative change of state verbs (PCOS verbs) in the digital media about technology and science, supported by Generative Lexicon Theory (Pustejovsky, 1995) and Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (Asher & Lascarides, 1995;2005).As a result, this paper scrutinizes the dynamic semantics inherent in the interpretation of metaphorical expressions and disambiguation of copulative constructions within authentic contexts.Furthermore, we highlight a significant correlation between the event structure of PCOS verbs and the temporal constraints governed by rhetorical relations within segmented discourse.
