The [SN + ha-'do] construction constitutes an individual-level predicate for business or A noun such as ppallay 'laundry' is a dot object with multiple meanings. Dot objects have complex

The substantive nominals involved in this construction are necessarily nonspecific generic (Note that a
nominal involved in such a stage-level aspectual predicate as in (14b) is necessarily specific). But the

adverbials, as follows:

If it requires telic quale information, the combination of the noun and ha-is an individual-level predicate. Otherwise, it is likely to be a stage-level predicate. If so, how can we explain the combination of the complex type noun such as ppallay 'laundry' with ha-? In the next secion, we", "type_str": "table", "num": null } } } }
