Overview

Examines acceptability of non-culminating accomplishments in European Portuguese, highlighting processing differences and agentivity influence.

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate how non-culminating accomplishments are processed and interpreted in European Portuguese.
  • Utilized a five-point Likert scale to assess native speakers' acceptance of various non-culminating accomplishment sentences.
  • Conducted a self-paced reading experiment to measure processing times across different sentence types.
  • Speakers generally accept non-culminating accomplishments, though acceptance varies by circumstance.
  • Subject agentivity influences acceptability ratings but is not necessary for processing non-culminating accomplishments.
