1. The Concept of Telicity in English, Romanian and Serbian.

Author

Lazović, Mihaela

Subjects
ROMANIANS, ENGLISH language, CONCEPTS
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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
