What is 6 Change of state verbs about?

## Change of state verbs Change of state verbs are one of the prototypical examples of scalar verbs. There are two reasons for this: rst, some of the verbs are derived from gradable adjectives, and second, the verbs are result verbs in the sense of Rappaport Hovav & Levin (2010) and therefore express a change along a scale. This chapter is organized as follows: in 6.1, I will present a general overview of the class of change of state verbs and distinguish between different subtypes of change of state verbs. Section 6.2 is more closely concerned with argument realization and argument alternations. Scales are the topic of section 6.3, which elaborates on the notion of scalar change and discusses in detail the question whether all change of state verbs lexicalize a scale. A scalar analysis of telicity will be the topic of section 6.4, and I will turn to the discussion of degree gradation of change of state verbs in section 6.5. Finally, a discussion of telicity with regard to verbal degree gradation is provided in 6.6, before I turn to a conclusion in 6.7.
