Explaining culmination entailment with Russian and Hindi ???-forms (a) Achievement VPs denote a set of events with no proper parts; accomplishment VPs denote a set of events with proper parts. (b) Russian and Hindi have partitive operators, IPF RUSS and PFV SV which combine with VP meanings and return a set of VP-event parts (c) When the base-VP is an achievement, IPF RUSS and PFV SV lead to an entailment that the described event culminated because the only event-part that could satisfy its truth-conditions is the VP- event. 24
Difference between prog, ipf russ and pfv sv The progressive operator, PROG, is also taken to be a partitive operator (see e.g. Landman 1992, Bonomi 1997, Portner 1998, Condoravdi 2009), but it does not give rise to the culmination inference with achievement VPs; PROG of an achievement VP leads to coercion (Moens & Steedman 1988; de Swart 1998; 2000). John was arriving, does not entail that John arrived (cf. John arrived) How do we account for the difference between IPF RUSS and PFV SV on the one hand, and PROG on the other? 25
