“…Furthermore, in line with É. Kiss (2008), I assume that lexical aspect and grammatical aspect are distinct categories in the grammar of Hungarian, an idea that was, to my knowledge, first argued for by Csirmaz (2008b). As is well known, lexical aspect concerns the inherent temporal properties of situations such as telicity, durativity, and dynamicity, whereas grammatical aspect is responsible for describing the viewpoint that the speaker has of the denoted situation.…”

“…In addition, the two types of sentences also differ in terms of the stress pattern they are associated with, as shown by the 'sign indicating primary stress. 11 Csirmaz (2008b) argues that (im)perfectivity is independent of the lexical or situational aspectual properties of these descriptions. She uses the following data, which illustrate the framing effect (Jespersen 1931), to support this claim: (15) (Csirmaz 2008b: 113, (15)) a. János 'megy 'fel a 'lépcső-n. J.nom goes up the stair-on 'János is going up the stairs.'…”

This paper explores the encoding of telicity in Hungarian. While proposing a mereological, scalar semantic analysis, it shows that Hungarian uses a telicity-marking strategy in which it contrasts with English, where telicity is not the direct consequence of an overt marker but arises as a cumulative effect of specific, well-definable properties of various components of verbal predicates including the head verb and its argument(s). A major contribution of the analysis, which mainly addresses telicity marking in the class of non-creation/non-consumption predicates in neutral sentences, lies in the fact that it reveals important cross-linguistic differences with respect to the aspectual role of verbal particles and resultative/locative expressions and the referential properties of telic verbal predicates. As for the former, it is demonstrated that Hungarian verbal particles and resultative/locative expressions mark telicity by directly placing bounds on events by virtue of serving an event maximalizing function, whereas the English counterparts of these elements do not have such direct event-bounding effects. As for the latter, it emerges that in Hungarian quantized reference is a necessary and sufficient condition for telicity in cases where in English it is only sufficient.

“…Kiss (2008c) argues from a diachronic perspective for particles being markers of situation aspect. Csirmaz (2008) comes up with a synthesis, and claims that the presence or absence of some particles can affect situation aspect, and the position of telicizing particles interacts with viewpoint aspect in that the particle immediately precedes the verb if the event description is perfective, and follows it whenever the event description is imperfective.…”

This paper sets forward an information structural account of the position of verbal particles in present-day Standard Hungarian and in Old Hungarian. Diacronically a gradual change in the position of particles can be observed across different construction types, which is claimed to be governed by the discourse status of the culmination of the event expressed by the verbal particle. It is argued that the position of verbal particles is not to be accounted for by assuming an aspectual representation independent of information structure.
