TY - JOUR AU - Sobkowiak, Mikołaj PY - 2009/01/01 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Bevægelsesverber i polsk og dansk og ACCOMPLISHMENT-dilemmaet JF - Folia Scandinavica Posnaniensia JA - 10.1515/fsp VL - 10 IS - SE - Linguistics DO - UR - https://pressto.amu.edu.pl/index.php/fsp/article/view/3594 SP - 219-236 AB - <p>The article departs from Smith's (1997) claim that verb constellations constituted by a countable nominal, a verb of motion and a directional PP are ACCOMPLISHMENT constellations in line with 'The child built a house' or 'He wrote a novel'. A series of morphological and syntactic tests are applied to perfective and imperfective ACCOMPLISHMENTS of directed motion in Polish and Danish (biec / at løbe, iść / at gå, lecieć / at flyve og jechać / at køre + directional adverbials). This illustrates that the verb constellations of interest do not always show the features of canonical ACCOMPLISHMENTS that do not refer to motion as such.</p> ER -
