Check => around October last year; a string search on Aktionsart, accomplishment, => Dowty, or 'stopped' should retrieve the file in question. =Assuming that by "tests" you mean "texts", I realize you did. However, =I don't have access to good (read: university) libraries, and you do. =Just part of life in the Real World, I'm afraid. No, I meant 'tests', as in 'test for whether this predication is a state or not'. All the info you should require should be in the aforementioned posting, in fact. (Or at least, anything I'd be likely to summarise from Dowty's text, in any case). No access to uni libraries?
