Abstract

Abstract Given that the notion of telicity was simply defined by English linguists as a situation which tends towards a goal, this paper will additionally explain and define telicity in the English language. Moreover, the issue of telicity in the Serbian and Romanian relevant linguistic literature has been scarcely analysed. This paper aims to ascertain and define telicity as an indispensable semantic characteristic of Serbian and Romanian verbs. Since the paper proves that the concept of telicity can be detected in languages other than English, telicity can and should be considered a linguistic universal.

英语、罗马尼亚语和塞尔维亚语中遥性的概念
摘要鉴于英语语言学家简单地将特利性定义为一种倾向于目标的情况,本文将对英语中的特利性进行额外的解释和定义。此外,塞尔维亚语和罗马尼亚语相关语言学文献中的特利性问题几乎没有得到分析。本文的目的是确定和定义telicity作为塞尔维亚语和罗马尼亚语动词不可或缺的语义特征。由于本文证明了集性的概念可以在英语以外的语言中检测到,集性可以而且应该被认为是一种语言普遍性。
