Abstract
In this chapter I present an English fragment within the UG framework that contains enough tense and time adverbial apparatus to explicitly generate the example sentences, involving durative/non-durative adverbials and progressive/non-progressive tenses, that were appealed to in chapters two and three to classify verbs aspectually. This is followed by a “lexicon” of words analyzed in this book, together with their translations and/or relevant meaning postulates.
