The article starts out from a Lithuanian construction denoting achievement of an excessive value of some parameter
of an incremental event. It is verb-framed, that is, the main-clause verb denotes motion along a path towards a normative value of
the parameter involved. Its implications for our understanding of the Talmyan typology of event conflation are discussed. Event
conflation in the domains of spatial motion and change of state has received most attention in the literature; differences in
saliency and elaboration, and the importance of constraints on the lexicalization of path (result) and manner, have been pointed
out. The Lithuanian verb-framed constructions discussed here are, however, similar to those in the domain of ‘temporal contouring’
in that they involve an incremental path superimposed on the path-to-result lexicalized in the embedded predicate. This extension
beyond the core domains of spatial motion and change of state represents another dimension of the Talmyan typology, largely
overlooked until now.
