Tenny's Aspectual Interface Hypothesis (Tenny, C., 1994. Aspectual Roles and the Syntax- Semantics Interface. Kluwer, Dordrecht) claims that aspectuality, especially telicity, is rele- vant to argument linking, but this claim does not account for the stative/dynamic contrast, which Tenny (1994) cannot explain. There is however evidence that the stative/dynamic con- trast can be established over how semantic relations link to syntax. The claim that this aspectual contrast can be derived over the linking of semantic relations in turn accounts for the failure of the English verb SEE to be marked for an aspectuality, and for the aspectual polysemy of English verbs of appearance. The di?erences between these two verbs o?ers jus- ti®cation for Jackendo?'s (Jackendor?, R.S., 1990. Semantic Structures. MIT Press, Cam- bridge, MA) semantic tiering hypothesis and for a view of argument linking which treats it as an unmediated relationship between the semantic arguments of a verb and its syntactic valents.
