摘　　要：终结性是标记事件在时间上有界与无界的语法范畴。本文从动词所表达的情景类型出发阐述了终结性的本质;在分析动词词缀、句法结构、宾语名词、时量短语等影响终结性构成的语言因素基础上,探讨了终结性的语言表达手段;通过对汉语和英语等语言的比较研究,指出不同语言表达终结性的手段具有对称性,并提出了终结性的语言表达遵循的普遍原则:语法手段能够超越词汇手段,词汇手段受排他性原则的制约。Telicity is the grammatical category that marks the temporal bounoeoness oI events. This paper first expounds the nature of telicity through an analysis of situation types. The linguistic means of telicity expressing are approached based on the discussion of the effects that the VP internal elements have on the composition of telicity. Through a comparative study of Chinese, English, among other languages, the cross-linguistic parallelism between the means of telieity expression is highlighted. It is also pointed out that telicity expression follow universal laws in their application： grammatical means can override lexical means and lexical means are constrained by the rule of exelusiveness.
