| Description | In this paper, I discuss aspectual system of Czech and in particular, the prefix combinations on verbs. Following the arguments of Gehrke (2009) and general model of Zwarts (2005), I argue that being upward monotonne vectors, the goal prefixes do and při cannot be modified by the measure prefix po (there are no verbs like *po do skočit or *po při jet). Next I offer a formal treatment of paths and events homomorphism for the verbs of motion in Czech. And I argue, based on the examined data, for keeping apart two distinctions in the aspectual system of Czech: telicity and perfectivity. |
