It is argued that Vendler's lexical classes of verbs (states, activities, accomplishments and achievements) can be represented in four phrase structure templates, where lexical properties of the verb and of the object compositionally determine telicity. A parameterized distinction between English and Slavic aspect is proposed. The book addresses two major acquisition issues: (1) what is the nature of the initial hypothesis Bulgarian learners of English entertain regarding telicity marking (i.e., is there native language transfer)? (2) are adult learners capable of resetting the telicity marking parameter? Both L1 transfer and parameter resetting are experimentally supported. In addition, the study investigates the L2 acquisition of a cluster of complex predicate constructions, purportedly related to the telicity parameter in the grammatical competence and in child language acquisition of English. 410 0$aLanguage acquisition & language disorders ;$vv. 26. 606 $aSecond language acquisition 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAspect 615 0$aSecond language acquisition. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAspect. 676 $a401/.93 700 $aSlabakova$b Roumyana$01671321 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818305403321 996 $aTelicity in the Second Language$94096367 997 $aUNINA
