Investigates the relationship between verbal prefixes and internal arguments, revealing two types of telicity in Lithuanian, suggesting important implications for linguistic theory.

Key Points

The study aims to examine the nature of telicity in Lithuanian, proposing that it comprises two distinct structural elements.
Analyzed transitive constructions in Lithuanian focusing on the influence of verbal prefixes.
Explored properties of internal arguments and their correlation with prefix usage.
Utilized empirical observations related to scope-taking and nominal argument references.
Two types of prefixed constructions found: one exhibiting Verkuylian effects and another not.
Demonstrated that internal arguments' properties vary depending on the chosen prefix for telicity.
Support found for the idea that telicity involves separate processes related to nominal arguments and prefixes.
