Two-phase verbs: A crosslinguistic look at an actional class

In this talk I deal with the actional (Aktionsart, aspectual) class of two-phase verbs from a descriptive (non-formal) perspective. The class has not received much attention in literature, except for Ebert (1995) and Breu (1998), and it remains poorly understood (cf. also Crane & Persohn ms.). The investigation reported here looks into the parameters of crosslinguistic variation within this actional class
