In order for the verb to be able to check a syntactic feature (interpretable or uninterpretable) of a functional projection, it must enter into a syntactic derivation in which it merges with other elements. In particular, in order to check the interpretable syntactic feature [+telic], it must be delimited by an object. Chapter 4 develops this idea in relation to the existence of unaccusative predicates and to the properties of passive constructions.
