영문 초록

Result state verbs pose a challenge to a compositional view of adverbial modification. They are involved in adverbial modification which is apparently noncompositional in the sense that certain temporal adverbials appear to ‘internally’ modify some semantic subpart of the denotations of these verbs, rather than the denotations of these verbs as a whole. We will attempt to solve this problem by proposing an analysis based on the aktionsarten of the verbs involved in this construction: according to this analysis, two eventuality variables are introduced in the semantics of those verbs, and sentences involving them can be understood as descriptions of two eventualities.
