TAILIEUCHUNG - The grammar of the english verb phrase part 10

In part VI (— sections — ), some of these oppositions are used to distinguish four different types of situation proper: states, ac-tions, events and processes. In part IV (— sections — ) we take a closer look at the term 'situation1. By this term we mean whatever can be expressed by a sen¬tence (more accurately, by a 'clause1). | 56 1. Introduction John did from 2 to 4 it cannot also be a correct representation of what he did between 2 and 3 or between and etc. Unlike drank beer the verb phrase drank five glasses of beer therefore denotes a heterogeneous situationtemplate. In the above paragraphs we have attributed the ontological feature homogeneous to situation-templates denoted by verbs verb phrases or longer predicate constituents. However for ease of reference we will also apply the term to situation types and sentences. Thus drink beer will be said to refer to a homogeneous type of situation and John drank beer which refers to an actualization of a homogeneous situation will be called a homogeneous sentence . In it will be noted though that the non homogeneous nature of a situation as denoted by a sentence need not always be due to the homogeneous nature of the situation-template. It may also be due to the quantifica-tional status of the subject NP to the use of the progressive form which expresses a kind of grammatical aspect or to another ontological-aspectual meaning without formal expression such as progressive meaning without progressive marker or habitual meaning coming from outside the predicate constituent. In all these cases non homogeneity is not a question of the lexical aspect expressed by the verb VP or more complex predicate constituent. For example while Water ran out of the cistern denotes a situation which is conceived of and represented as homogeneous Three litres of water ran out of the cistern denotes a heterogeneous situation no part of this situation can be described by the same sentence. Similarly while John wrote a book is heterogeneous John was writing a book is homogeneous the sentence can be used to refer to the actualization of a situation as well as to any relevant part of that situation. And in Every evening I would have a glass of port while Sylvia drank a glass of beer the second clause has a habitual and thus homogeneous .
