Aspect temporality aspectualityAbstract
This article examines the concept of state aspect and holistic endpoint, action and state verbs are incomplete rather than complete, they do not encode any endpoint, and the verbs to do and succeed are complete because they are endpoints. Temporary instruments also serve to preserve the content of individual scenes, events as a whole, and completeness.
