Foreground actions are presented and interpreted as though they were punctual, complete, and necessarily sequential.
Mean number of same-action responses were calculated for events that were durative, punctual-iterated, and punctual.
Furthermore, notice that children's use of past tense on punctual verbs exceeds its frequency of use in the input in both acquisition contexts.
The primary issue of interest is whether childdirected speech manifests punctual/non-punctual distinction in terms of past-tense markings.
In addition, punctual predicates in these contexts must be used with a habitual interpretation.
Specular reflection originates when the light from a punctual source has stronger reflection in the line of view of the observer.
A single integration provides the coulombian potential (5) from the electric field of a punctual charge.
One way of doing that is to consider as part of the event the action which precedes the punctual transition.
