El clítico se en espa?ol y las clases de eventoKeywords: generative grammar, aktionsart, spanish clitic se, telicity, aspect. Abstract: bogard (2006) takes four major classes of reflexives, with a general feature. these classes are: (i) se with a reflexive or reciprocal sense; (ii) se as an argument blocker (it reduces or saturates an argument); (iii) se as a perfective aspect marker and as a mode of action marker or aktionsart; (iv) se as encoder of an affection value of the grammatical subject. gennari (2001) suggests that the interpretation of a sentence is determined by tense, aktionsart and pragmatic implications. tenny (1994) proposes the interface aspectual hypothesis to formalize the link between (a)telic meanings and syntactic structures. in this work, we focus on the study of spanish se as a marker of aktionsart. some of the results are: (i) the complement of the verb is an essential constituent in the telic interpretation of verb phrases; (ii) imperfectives coerce aktionsart; (iii) although the progressive seems to be rather unusual with achievement verbs, this is used with this type of event with an imperfective sense; (iv) telicity may be marked with verbs merged with a complement or not.
