## Summary

This poster 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:
We propose an enriched modal mereology for telic predicates, in which the
inherent endpoint (or télos) associated with a telic predicate P structures
the set of events in the denotation of P in the same way as a goal structures
a set of alternatives for teleological modal claims. 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.
