초록
This paper concerns the aspectual classification of English verbs. In the traditional aspectual classification, three features were usually used: [static], [durative], and [telic]. Although these features do not seem to pose any problem with the four-way distinction in Vendler (1967) and Dowty (1979), they cannot account properly for the characteristics of semelfactives and inchoatives. In particular, using [telic] feature for classifying those verbs often leads to conflicts. We propose using [phase shift] instead of [telic] for the classification. Provided that semelfactives are [-phase shift] and inchoatives are [+phase shift], we can account for the aspectual properties of those verbs without any conceptual or empirical difficulties.
Abstract
This paper concerns the aspectual classification of English verbs. In the traditional aspectual classification, three features were usually used: [static], [durative], and [telic]. Although these features do not seem to pose any problem with the four-way distinction in Vendler (1967) and Dowty (1979), they cannot account properly for the characteristics of semelfactives and inchoatives. In particular, using [telic] feature for classifying those verbs often leads to conflicts. We propose using [phase shift] instead of [telic] for the classification. Provided that semelfactives are [-phase shift] and inchoatives are [+phase shift], we can account for the aspectual properties of those verbs without any conceptual or empirical difficulties.
