Abstract

The goal of this paper is to investigate the verb particle’s contribution for the event structure in complex particle constructions. The focus will be on a subgroup of constructions that have a secondary predicate denoting a resultant state over an accusative phrase alongside with a verb particle, as we can see in the following examples: John grilled the onions up dry and The farmer painted the barn up red. The argumentation supports the view that the particle contribution is aspectual in its nature, specifically representing a sense of completeness and/or totality, and not telicity proper.
