## Summary

This talk was presented on 2021 April 8 - 11 at the [39th meeting of the West
Coast Conference on Formal
Linguistics](https://sites.google.com/view/wccfl2021/).  
  
Provided abstract:  
This talk presents a hypothesis concerning those semantic aspects of roots
which are visible to functional structure and supports the hypothesis by
contrasting the behavior or degree achievement verbs with a class of verbs
represented by 'cover'. It is shown that the stative roots at the core of both
classes interact differently with functional structure and this difference is
attributed to scalar structure associated with degree achievements but lacking
from 'cover' verbs.
