Aspectual composition with degrees

Abstract

Abstract Approaches to aspectual composition (most notably Krifka 1989, 1992; Verkuyl 1993) have generally focused on how to account for contrasts such as those in (1) and (2), where compatibility with a temporal m-adverbial is taken to indicate a telic interpretation, and compatibility with a temporal for-adverbial to signal an atelic interpretation, of the phrase that the adverbial attaches to. Nothing hinges on the use of the terms telic and atelic here, and for present purposes, bounded and unbounded would do equally well.
