This approach to telicity obviates the imperfective paradox, and supports a unified extensional account of (non-)culmination effects from perfective as well as imperfective accomplishments cross-linguistically.</div><div><div><br></div><div><hr></div><div><br></div><div><i>For inquiries regarding the contents of this dataset, please contact the Corresponding Author listed in the README.txt file.
