This paper focuses on non-culminating accomplishments and distinguishes them from accomplishments used atelically. It delineates two different sources of event culmination denials after non-progressive accomplishment sentences, namely the perfective, or a modal operator encoded in the VP. Furthermore, it argues that non-culminating accomplishments also differ from non-maximal accomplishments, which entail event culmination relative to a coarse granularity level, but allow culmination denials relative to a finer granularity level, via the non-maximal use of the (in-)definite description used to introduce the incremental theme argument.

非最终成就

本文着重于非最终成就，并将其与运动中使用的成就区分开来。它描绘了非渐进完成语句之后的两种不同的事件最终否定来源，即完全式或在VP中编码的模态运算符。此外，它认为非最终成就也与非最大成就不同，非最大成就要求相对于粗糙粒度级别的事件最终达到目的，但通过非最大程度地使用（in- ）的定义，用于引入增量主题参数。
