Telic Power

2023
Abstract This chapter introduces a newly identified form of power: telic power. While deontic power is a key concept in social ontology, it is too narrow to capture a central dimension of the social world that is exemplified by certain aspects of gender and class.

Telicity and Terminativity

2021
The terms “telicity” and “terminativity” are used to denote the component of the (lexical) semantic makeup of verbs, verb phrases, sentences, and/or situations relating to their being or not being goal oriented, and so to their (in)completability, their (un)boundedness (Dahl 1981: 83).

How Telicity Creates Time

Journal of Slavic Linguistics, 2013
Most treatments of temporal semantics start out from the conception of time as a line stretching from the past into the future, which is then populated with eventualities or situations. This paper explores how time can be seen as emerging from the construction of representations of reality in which the basic building blocks are static—i.e., timeless ...

The Development of the Telic Dominance Scale

Journal of Personality Assessment, 1978
The development of a 42-item measure of a number of personality features derived from the theory of psychological reversals is reported. These personality features are (a) the extent to which a person is serious-minded, (b) the extent to which a person plans ahead and organizes himself in the pursuit of goals, and (c) the extent to which a person seeks

CHINESE FINITENESS: CHANGEABILITY, ACTUALITY, DURATIONALITY AND TELICITY

Journal of Chinese Linguistics, 2023
ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on declarative sentences to demonstrate how four major concepts: changeability, actuality, durationality and telicity, work together in shaping Chinese finite clauses.

Freud's confrontation with the telic mind

Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences, 1981
Sigmund Freud's relations with four significant figures in his life are traced: Ernst Brücke, Josef Breuer, Wilhelm Fliess, and Carl G. Jung. In each of these relationships, Freud was confronted with the dilemma of wanting to describe people in what is obviously a teleological fashion while simultaneously meeting the strictures of natural-science ...

Telicity and incremental theme

Russian Linguistics, 2008
The paper deals with the notion of INCREMENTAL THEME and problems connected with the telicity/atelicity of Russian verbs and verb phrases (VPs). Verbs cannot be classified as telic or atelic once and for all—telicity must be determined on the level of a VP. The notion of incremental theme provides simple rules of ASPECTUAL COMPOSITION.

Dynamic-telic Structure

1982
There are a few etymologies that may be referred to for what they may be worth (that is, we assume that Plato is sympathetic to them): first, man (anthrōpos) consists of soul and body, and the soul, when in the body, is the cause of life and gives power of breath and revival (anapsychon), and when this reviving power fails (ekleipontos) the body ...

The Origins of Telicity

1998
The distinction between telic and atelic predicates has been described in terms of the algebraic properties of their meaning since the early days of model-theoretic semantics. This perspective was inspired by Aristotle’s discussion of types of actions that do or do not take time to be completed which was taken up and turned into a linguistic discussion
