In this paper we discuss the inferences triggered by perfective accomplishments and two verbal prefixes (the completive prefix do- and the iterative prefix pere-) in Russian. Contrary to most works that attempt to analyze these inferences as presuppositions, we show that there is no ground for such a claim and argue that the inferences discussed here are better analyzed in terms of entailments and scalar implicatures. We use standard tests from previous research on semantic and pragmatic presupposition. For those cases where the standard tests prove to be insufficient, we provide empirical data from a questionnaire we conducted. The methodology used to construct the questionnaire is based on the results of an empirical study by Chemla (2009).
