Telicity as a Semantic Parameter
As a point of departure, we take the empirical hypothesis that only a small number of verb roots (i.e., simple, underived verbs) lexically incorporates an ordering criterion with respect to which events in their denotation could be maximalized. It follows then that the vast majority of maximal predicates is endocentrically built from verb roots by combining them with expressions that impose an ...
متن کاملThe Telicity Parameter Revisited
The goals of this paper are threefold: First, to review some recent syntactic accounts of cross-linguistic differences in the expression of telicity in Slavic vs. Germanic languages. Second, I will argue that the parametric variation in the encoding of telicity cannot be based on a unidirectional specifier head agreement between the verbal functional head linked to the telicity of the VP and th...

' A version of this paper was presented at the LP2002 meeting held at Meikai University, Japan, on September 2-6, 2002. I thank the audiences of the LP2002 meeting and the JIK conference for their stimulating discussion of the topic. I also thank Dov-Ber Kerler for providing and discussing Russian data with me, and Stuart Davis for his comments. Much of this work has evolved from Tsujimura and ...
متن کاملClosure and Telicity across Categories
One of the fascinating aspects of telicity is its relations with non-verbal categories. Whether a given predicate is telic or atelic does not only depend on the verb, but can also be affected by the count/mass quantification in the NP object, by the lexical semantics of related adjectives, and by the prepositions that the predicate may contain. The latter two factors are in the focus of this pa...
متن کاملTelicity in L2 Chinese Acquisition
The interaction between syntactic structures and event structures has become an important area of linguistic research. The telic/atelic distinction, a property of an event having or not having a natural endpoint, is a focus in the discussion of this interaction. Together with durativity and dynamicity, telicity, a semantic notion, forms the base of the well-known Vendler (1967) four-way typolog...
