Acción, hecho y sucesso

in this paper i asses davidson's analysis of action sentences stressing its quantificational structure and its views on prepositions and adverbial modification. three arguments inspired by grice's ideas are deployed against it. first, i point to weird consequences of taking prepositions as defining predicates; second, i show some obstacles for davidson's view on adverbs; finally, i raise some doubts about his putative analysis of "negative actions". from these, i hope that connections among actions, facts and events should be reconsidered in action theory.
