这意味着（1）中的斜体句子需要在 for 短语指定的类型区间的子区间内一致为真。 (1) 中的例子已经对同质性概念做出了适当的定义，这一点并不平凡，因为状态被认为在瞬间是同质的，而活动在更大的间隔上是同质的，其精确大小取决于 VP 谓词的性质（参见 Dowty 1979 中的讨论）。我们将在本文中讨论许多其他情况，对于这些情况，即使是后一种同质性概念也不够好，包括仅用复数主题和迭代取得成就的情况。我们认为，在所有这些情况下，Landman 2008 中定义的增量同质性概念将足以解释 for 短语的分布。
This means that the italicized sentences in (1) are required to be homogeneously true at subintervals of an interval of the type specified by the for-phrase. The examples in (1) already make an appropriate definition of the notion of homogeneity non-trivial, since states are argued to be homogeneous down to instants, while activities are homogeneous down to larger intervals whose precise size is dependent on the nature of the VP-predicate (see the discussion in Dowty 1979). We will discuss in this paper a number of other cases for which even the latter notion of homogeneity isn't good enough, including cases of achievements with bare plural subjects and of iterations. We shall argue that in all these cases, the notion of incremental homogeneity defined in Landman 2008 will be adequate to account for the distribution of for-phrases.
