 note = {This paper discusses the meanings of the aspectual form Verb+te iru, in Japanese. Various verb+te iru forms can be categorized semantically into three classes: continuing action, resulting state, and series, with each representing different underlying forms. Those underlying structures show semantically unique distinctive features, including the perfectivity of each verb with either a plus or minus value ([-perfective] for continuing action and [+perfective] for resulting state and series). The-iru form also carries semantic information about continuity and repetition in the underlying structure. In the surface sentential representations various adverbs (including phrases and clauses) can determine what kind of underlying semantic structure a given V +te iru form has. We consider three verb categories (activity, achievement, and accomplishment) to explain their relationship with the V+te iru form. Activity and accomplishment verbs have both [+perfective] and [-perfective] phases. If these verbs have [-perf] in the underlying form, they carry the meaning of continuing action in the form of V+te iru. If they have [+perf], they convey the meaning of either resulting state or series. Achievement verbs have only [+perf] value and convey the potential meaning of either resulting state or series., Article, 信州大学教養部紀要. 第一部, 人文科学. 第二部, 自然科学 23: 115-130(1989)},
