Outline of Final Research Achievements

Processing costs associated with aspectual mismatches between verbs and temporal adverbs could either be interpreted in terms of categorical coercion of dichotomous lexical specifications of punctual/durational interpretations for verbs (the Categorical Specification thesis), or in terms of overrides of graded interpretational preferences (the Weighted Bias thesis).
Results supporting the Weighted Bias thesis were obtained in Experiment 1 (self-paced reading), while two novel kinds of observations were also obtained: effect delay and an adverb effect. Experiment 2 (not planned at the point of the proposal) replicated those observations even under certain stimuli modifications. Experiment 3 (eye-tracking) is still on-going.
