  Individual events - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Individual events is a type of speech competition characterized by individuals competing in a variety of different events.

 Events
In particular, a difference in the relevant constitutive property is sufficient to distinguish events such as Caesar's death, construed as Caesar's exemplification of the property of dying, and Caesar's violent death, construed as his exemplification of the property of dying violently [Kim 1976].
On such theories, events are construed as sets of functions from spatiotemporal locations to "situation types" defined as sequences of objects standing or failing to stand in a certain relation.
Whether or not actions are treated as events, one might be tempted to distinguish between actions proper (such as John's raising his arm) and bodily movements (such as John's arm rising), or between intentional actions (John's walk) and unintentional ones (John's falling into a hole).
