Telicity

In linguistics, telicity (/tˈlɪsɪti/; from Greek τέλος 'end, goal') is the property of a verb or verb phrase that presents an action or event as having a specific endpoint. A verb or verb phrase with this property is said to be telic; if the situation it describes is not heading for any particular endpoint, it is said to be atelic.
